10 Best & 10 Worst Movies By Kingsman Actors
7. The King's Speech (Colin Firth)
Colin Firth rightly won a Best Actor Oscar for his superb performance in Tom Hooper's stellar period drama, a witty, charming and thoroughly entertaining underdog tale packed with unexpected emotion.
Alongside Firth's portrayal, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter provide splendid support, while Hooper's deft direction ensures that a potentially stuffy period piece ended up one of 2010's most entertaining crowd-pleasers (even though it shouldn't have beaten The Social Network for the Best Picture or Best Director gongs).
Undeniably the role of Firth's career, he brought dignity and relatability to a figure many didn't know much about, and if you weren't left exhilarated by the climactic speech itself, were you even really watching it? In a word, marvellous.
