Colin Firth - The Kings (acceptance) Speech

By the time award season is over Colin Firth is going to have a lot to smile about, and no doubt a massive bill from Ikea. With a Critics Choice award and Golden Globe under his belt already it won't be long until he has to put up extra shelves to house his gongs.

With the Kings Speech receiving 14 BAFTA nominations today alone if looks to be a busy few weeks for the true British gent who we will no doubt see crowned as acting royalty again and again.

And with the Oscars just around the corner it looks like all the time practising speeches may have been time well spent indeed.....
