Royal achievements

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2011)

While I'm not always on the same page (and I'm not alone in this) when it comes to the Oscars, I think they got it right this time. The filmmakers and actors may not have planned this (and how can you, even if some are saying this had "Oscars" written all over it from the get-go), it is easy to see why it pleased the Academy (still the swearing is almost surprising, even if performed in a comedic way, you just don't expect it) and won them over.
Acting wise and story wise (though I haven't checked how accurate it is, in portraying the events that really occurred) this is top notch. A perfect mix of comedy and drama. :o)
