Your question is vague. Of course, vague questions serve as the basis of discussions all the time, but if you have a more specific...

Posted by: second gary (a.k.a 80181597) on Oct 01, 08:07 in response to Latinman4747's post Is Iron Lady this year's Kings Speech?

... question in mind, you should try to state that more specific question.  Your IM is a little more specific:

—Will "The Iron Lady" gross $100M in North America?

—Will it win Best Picture?

... but until the film is widely seen, these questions don't mean much.  Is your more specific question (the comparison to "The King's Speech") something like this:

"The Weinstein brothers have a talent for making films set in other times and non-American places which serve as a vehicle for Conservative political values cloaked as liberal values, often with a highbrow literary pedigree: will "The Iron Lady" follow this pattern, and excite irrational, disproportionate praise, blind to the real political values the film embraces?"

:)

... or something like this.
