LOS ANGELES – King George the stutterer seems primed to reign at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night, unless there's a palace coup by Mark Zuckerberg, that asocial billionaire who created Facebook.
"The King's Speech," dramatizing British monarch George VI's struggle to vanquish a crippling stammer, leads with 12 nominations and is favored to win best picture.
Yet "The Social Network," chronicling Zuckerberg's fierce Facebook legal battles, remains a serious candidate for the Oscar crown.
One Oscar forecast is certain: chilly weather for dolled-up stars promenading on the arrivals red carpet at the Kodak Theatre, with temperatures in the low 50s at show time, unusually crisp for Los Angeles. The ceremony begins at 8 p.m. EST, hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway.
