Brits are crazy in their own bloody way,
It seems like every year one British film is nominated for both "Best Film" and "Best British Film," and regardless of whether or not they win Best Film, the always lose Best British Film.
If that isn't pretentious, I don't know what is. Maybe they live by different film watching standards when they know it's a "British" movie. It's as if it's something they can't get out of their conscience.
Subsequently, The King's Speech is aligned to continue the streak.
Also, True Grit got much love from the Brits, I don't know why, what draw do westerns have in Europe. Or country music for that matter. or even southwest cooking.
The Fighter was shut out of best film, too sportive for the high brow brits, they type that want to give a last second push for Javier Bardem in Biutiful, probably some lines in the Fighter were too ironic:
"Charlene: I had to read the whole f***in' movie"
