Please Note: I would never recommend all of these movies for viewing - for family movie night or for adults, either. Unfortunately, many of the movies I love and hold dear never made this list of Oscar Winners.... such as: It's a Wonderful Life, Meet Me in St. Louis, The Wizard of Oz, Music Man, etc...

Toy Story 3As for the 2010 Movie Nominees:

'Black Swan', 'The Fighter', 'Inception', 'The Kids Are All Right', 'The King’s Speech', '127 Hours', 'The Social Network', 'Toy Story 3', 'True Grit', and 'Winter's Bone'

My pick would be: TOY STORY 3!

I chose it because of it's family-friendliness... though, I'm pretty certain it's a long shot here.

I've have heard that The King's Speech is an inspiring film - about overcoming stuttering. Please Note: This Movie is Rated "R", though, due to excessive Language - so please be ware of this! I have not personally seen this film. I am, however, a big fan of Colin Firth, who I first liked as Darcy, in the 1995 Production of Pride & Prejudice.
