Colin Firth won the Best Actor Oscar this evening at the 83rd Annual Academy awards ceremony for his stirring performance of a stuttering monarch in The King’s Speech.
This is Colin Firth’s first Academy Award and his second nomination.
As SI wrote in the review of The King’s Speech:
For movie buffs, to not see The King’s Speech would be a sacrilege.
The competition in the category was really fierce.
If you’re curious, here are the other nominees:
* Javier Bardem in “Biutiful”
* Jeff Bridges in “True Grit”
* Jesse Eisenberg in “The Social Network”
* James Franco in “127 Hours”
Colin Firth made Kamal Haasan look like a kid, in the movie.

Well, we guess Kamal Haasan is good enough for Tamils. After all, they consider him the ne plus ultra of actors.
The Tamil film industry is beyond salvage.
