Damn, Phoenix, have more awards than the Grammys!

The King's Speech wins it's first American critical prize (it topped the British Independent Film Awards previously), and unseats The Social Network, which has topped all expect three and half of the thousand critics groups that have announced.  A question arises, as January nears, the critics have said their say-- what will become of the ridiculous, nearly unanimous praise of Fincher's Facebook tale?  Will the guilds crush, and lean more towards King's Speech?

The King's Speech, aside from actually quality, might be hot this month thanks to wide release and the Weinstein awards help.
