While we have the Academy Awards here in the states, across the pond their big night is the BAFTAs (or The British Academy of Film and Television). This year’s ceremony took place yesterday, and not surprisingly The King’s Speech annihilated the competition, taking home awards for Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Leading Actor (Colin Firth), Supporting Actor (Geoffrey Rush), Supporting Actress (Helena Bonham Carter), Original Screenplay and Original Music. Phew! Talk about a good night for a film the Brits are obviously very proud of (as well they should be).

Over the last five days, as the Verizon iPhone announcement was rumored into reality, Wall Street did not respond enthusiastically. Both AT&T and Verizon shares have fallen more than 5 percent over that time period including substantial falls in trading so far today. What this seems to say is that Wall Street anticipates that the competition between the companies, the subsidies that they have to offer, and the concessions to Apple they will be forced to make may not be great for investors. That’s perfectly Wall Street thinking, but it doesn’t really make sense. Where would AT&T be without the iPhone right now? It’s impossible to predict how many of their customers would have jumped ship without the exclusive deal with Apple to sell the Jesus phone. While I think it’s suggestive, we shouldn’t make too much of the last five days as investors have been thinking about — and pricing in — the possible impact of the Verizon iPhone for months.
