The King's Speech

I just watched The King's Speech.

Holy shit, give Firth a fucking Oscar! He's absolutely brilliant - always has been and since the Academy didn't choose him last year they better do it this year.
And another one please for the lovely Helena Bonham Carter (outstanding as usual) and for the great Geoffrey Rush aswell.

Loved him, too. I mean... think about how hard it must have been to learn the stuttering. Honestly... I think he deserved the Oscar already last year for his role in "A single man". He was brilliant in it although the movie was really depressing. I liked "The King's speech" more. It was after all kind of a feel good movie.
The problem is that the Academy doesn't like to give their precious gold to foreigners - and that includes englishmen as well. I'm afraid that the Oscar goes to another actor for a stupid role and Colin is left with the consolation prize aka the Golden Globe.
