The King’s Speech cleaned up at the BAFTAs last night, collecting seven British Academy Film Awards, including the coveted ‘Best Film’ and Best British Film’ gongs.
Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush also won ‘Best Actor’ and ‘Best Supporting Actor’ Awards, and Firth is now a hot favourite to repeat his success at next month’s Oscars. The King’s Speech was widely tipped to do well before the ceremony and Firth retained his best actor award following his success for A Single Man in 2010.
Inception and The Social Network also picked up three awards each, Alice In Wonderland scooped two and Toy Story 3 coasted to victory in the Best Animated Film category. Elsewhere, Natalie Portman was named best actress for her role in Black Swan on a night of few surprises.
