'The King's Speech' voted best movie
BRITISH movie "The King's Speech" won best-produced film from the Producers Guild of America on Saturday, a boost to its Oscar ambitions in an awards season so far swept by "The Social Network."
The producers of "The King's Speech" - Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth Unwin - said they thought they were "the last guys in the running" among the 10 nominees for the top Producers award, ahead of Tuesday's Oscar nominations.
The drama depicts the struggles of the stammering British King George VI, played by Colin Firth.
Firth won best actor at the Golden Globes a week ago, but his film did not fare as well there. The Facebook founding saga "Social Network" took home four Globes, including best dramatic film and best director, and has won several of the critics and industry awards this season.
While "The King's Speech" has also made several best movie lists among critics, the film has not been considered a front-runner. It was not even nominated by the Writers Guild of America for its awards this season.
Other films in contention for the best-produced movie of the year were "Black Swan," "The Fighter" and "Toy Story 3," which won the award for best-produced animated film.
Hollywood is counting the days until the February 27 Oscars, held in Los Angeles and given out by the -Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In the last three years, the Producers Guild and the Academy have agreed on best picture winners.
