THE King's Speech leads the British charge at this year's Oscars - with TWELVE nominations, it was announced yesterday.

Colin Firth, a film star in the movie The King’s speech, is chosen for the Best Actor title for his portrayal of stuttering monarch George VI. Firth, had already scooped 22 gongs for the role, including a Golden Globe and has yet to land an Academy Award. His co-stars were also nominated for their supporting roles. We know Firth already for playing Mr. Darcy in BBC’s Pride and Prejudice. The movie costs 9 million to make and is nominated for categories including Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay. Firth’s rivals in the Best Actor category are Javier Bardem, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Zuckerberg and James Franco. But it seems Flirth is going to walk away with it after his astounding performance in the King’s Speech.

Reaction:
I did not know this man was so famous. Of course I saw him in a couple of movies, but you did not hear anything about him besides that. You can see it as a good sign, he does his work and goes home and keeps that totally separated. This instead of those who wants to be in the news all the time. I know him form Bridget Jones Diary’s I guess. His face is familiar to me, but I did not know his name. Nice to see that actors can be just on the background too.
