Two big awards ceremonies were held over the weekend, and with them came a definite shift in momentum with regards to which film has the best shot at winning that coveted Best Picture Oscar. Both the DGA (Directors Guild) and SAG (Screen Actors Guild) awarded top honors to The King’s Speech over The Social Network, which is the first sign that the tide is changing, even though the latter film won the Golden Globe for Best Picture (Drama).

'The King's Speech'

With the DGA, only six times throughout history has a different person taken home the Oscar, so they’re usually on the money with their picks. SAG is a little more all over the place, but their additional praise of The King’s Speech has easily given it a slight edge over The Social Network, even though many (including myself) still feel David Fincher will take home the Best Director Oscar at the very least. Also on the DGA side of things, Charles Ferguson took home Best Director for his documentary Inside Job, which is also the favorite to win Best Documentary at the Oscars.
 
Meanwhile, SAG was pretty predictable with their other film-related awards. Other than The King’s Speech winning Best Ensemble, all the favorites took home awards in the other categories, including Colin Firth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. Check out a list of the SAG winners (and nominees) below.
