I have to say, I thought 2010 was an incredible year, especially for the Oscar line up. You had films by David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan, Danny Boyle, The Cohen Brothers and Derek Cianfrance all up for Oscars. This kind of variety of celebrated and darker filmmakers is unheard of in a ceremony known for rewarding films about people will ailments triumphing over adversity. As such, I was disappointed with the winner. I did like The Kings Speech, but I felt it was a typical Oscar box ticking film. It didn't really say much or push the medium forward in any way. Like them or not, the other Oscar nominees had some sort of artistic aspirations behind them and weren't films that usually get nominated.
Bare in mind, I don't actually consider Scott Pilgrim to be the best film of the year at all. It was just a film I enjoyed a lot. As with many of my number 1 choices.

I do agree that The King's Speech was a regressive choice, although I did enjoy it very much. I can live with its Screenplay/Actor Oscars but the win for Tom Hooper's thoroughly anonymous direction was ridiculous.
Still, I preferred it to most of the Best Picture slate. Inception was fun and I would probably like to see it a second time to make a final judgement. I liked True Grit but HATED Black Swan.
Really, I have a lot to see before closing the book on this year, possibly more than from any recent year pre-2017.
