The Baftas Dominated by the Kings Speech
The ‘Kings Speech’ once again dominated an awards ceremony as it won 7 Baftas (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) last night at the ceremony in London.
‘The Kings Speech‘ star, Colin Firth, won the best actor award for his betrayal of King George VI and his struggle to overcome his speech impediment.
It also walked away with the BAFTA for best film, outstanding British film, best original screenplay, best musical score and best supporting actors awards for Helen Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush.
Colin Firth is one of the few people who have won a Bafta for 2 years in a row, winning last year for ‘A Single Man’.
‘The Social Network’ picked up Bafta’s for best director, best editing and best adapted screenplay.
A heavily pregnant Natalie Portman wasn’t able to fly to over to the UK for the awards night but picked up the best actress award for her multi-award winning film ‘Black Swan’.
Always an interesting category, voted for by the public, Tom Hardy won the Bafta’s rising star award.
