Movie Top Ten Someone, take over the baton

[Karin Schill]

And we have a winner...

It hasn't been easy to calculate this round so if I've missed a movie I appologize in advance. A lot of movies from the previous decade got votes but it seems like our favorite movie from the 2010's is:


The King’s Speech (2010)
This is a historical drama film about the British Royal family. It portrays the time when Edward VIII abdicated and Queen Elizabeth II's father George VI unexpectedly inherited the crown. The only problem was that he was terrified about talking in public due to a stammer. So he got voice lessons to be able to grow into his new role. The movie was directed by: Tom Hooper. It starred: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter.

It got a total of 28 points.

Here's a trailer for the winning movie:

Hi again,

I still have a long list of directors that we haven't used yet and I also have a few suggestions left from Emelee that I haven't used yet for different themes and two actors.
While I can still think of several actors/actresses we haven't spotlighted yet I would like your input. Which of your favorite stars have been overlooked so far?

Please write two stars each that you wish to see given the spotlight for this movie top ten and I will compile a list of your suggestions and use them.
If you missed the round when your favorite star was spotlighted and would like to revisit someone you are also free to suggest that.



P.S. Typing up the new title just made me realize something.

Let's do a top ten of our favorite movie stars also for this round.

You can naturally list stars that we've already covered in the top ten for this. So first please list two stars that we can cover and then write two more lists. One for female stars and one for male stars. Naturally it is fine to mention the same stars in your suggestion and your two favorite lists. So you need to answer the following:

The stars I wish we spotlight next are:

My favorite female stars are:

My favorite male stars are:

If you don't have 10 favorite female stars and 10 favorite male stars you can naturally list fewer stars too.

Totals in february!
