According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates isBritish historical drama The King's Speech garnered 12 Oscar nominations on Tuesday, leading the competition for the film industry's top honours.
The film, starring Colin Firth as a stammering King George VI, beat rivals including The Social Network, which won the most Golden Globes earlier this month.
True Grit, the Coen brothers' take on the classic Western, came in second with 10 nominations. The Social Network and Inception won eight nominations each for the 83rd annual Academy Awards to be held on February 27.
The King's Speech was a relative latecomer to the Oscars race, and scored only one Golden Globe award.
Firth, who won the Golden Globe for his performance in the British movie, is widely tipped for a Best Actor at the Oscars.
Helena Bonham Carter, who plays King George VI's wife, was nominated for best supporting actress, along with Amy Adams and Melissa Leo for their roles in The Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit and Jacki Weaver in Animal Kingdom'
The Social Network had been tipped to earn the most Oscar nominations after winning four awards at the Golden Globes on January 16. But industry observers had noted that the British royal movie could do better at the Oscars because it was better suited to the tastes of the 6,000-plus members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Learning about harmony and "positive team spirit" through athletics is a central theme of the 84-year-old monarch’s speech, broadcast at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday on British radio and TV, and also available on YouTube's Royal Channel.
“In the parks, and towns and cities, and on village greens up and down the country, countless thousands of people every week give up their time to participate in sport and exercise of all sorts, or simply encourage others to do so,” she said in this year's speech, taped from Hampton Court Palace''s Royal Chapel, on the outskirts of London.
