Within his family, Bertie’s stutter is virtually absent.
Colin: [on Mamma Mia] I think it’s one of the best things I have ever done. People expect me to apologize for it and I am completely unapologetic. Right now I would say, if you asked me the three things for which I am most proud I would say it is A Single Man, The King’s Speech and Mamma Mia. Interviewer: How hard was it to get you to do the scene that’s used for the closing credits? Colin: You know what, that may be the reason I did the movie. Interviewer: You have no shame. Colin: Yes. I’m sorry, if one thing has come out of 60 Minutes is that we have discovered, we’ve unveiled the fact that Colin Firth has no shame. I am such a drag queen. It’s one of my primary driving forces in life. You cannot dangle a spandex suit and a little bit of mascara in front of me and not just have me go weak at the knees.

The King's Speech
The King's Speech was possibly the most adorable thing I have witnessed in all my years. Loved it beyond words!
I'm still sticking by Jesse Eisenberg for the acting Oscar despite my love for Colin Firth (which spans many years as I'm sure is the case with most) because, and not to diminish in any way what Colin did (did = make me weep into my Minstrels), but Jesse's character was so seemingly emotionless yet you felt so much for him. And that was such a perfect balance I'm sure very few could pull of.
Colin's blatantly one of the greatest actors in all of ever and, as I previously stated, my love for him is strong, so I'd be equally as happy for him to win all things considered, but I just feel Jesse's performance was so outstanding and complex, he deserves that recognition.
The King's Speech can win all the other awards though.
Masterpiece :')
I think my biggest surprise this morning was Christopher Nolan and Andrew Garfield being snubbed.
Inception is by not the most emotional movie of the year, but the fact that Christopher Nolan was overlooked for Best Director was so surprising. It takes a very talented director to helm a movie so complex as Inception and have it all makesense. And the fact that Nolan managed to do it with such style and finesse was really impressive. As much as I loved The King’s Speech, I thought there were flaws in its direction so that parts of the story was not explained as well as it could have and that’s a relatively straight-forward film. Inception on the other hand is a completely new world and I think the Academy really screwed up choosing to overlook Nolan’s vision and his work.
The Social Network is by no means my favorite movie of the year, as many of you know, but Andrew Garfield being snubbed for Best Supporting Actor is insane as he was one I considered pretty much a lock. He was the soul of a movie that otherwise probably would not have one and his singular performance really grounded the more extravagant characters— making everything that much more real. I’m just really surprised.
