The movie won the Best Picture award at the 2011 Oscars but is now criticized for its forgettable plot surrounding King George V overcoming his speech impediment. Moreover, it was nominated alongside Black Swan, Inception, and The Social Network, which were more daring projects. The film was also noted to be tailor-made for the Oscars, which added to the criticism.
