Colin Firth is so amazing with how much he can communicate in his facial expressions.
(True in all his movies, but so evident in this one)

formidable presentation.

(27,121 posts)2. Which King George? Both V and VI are portrayed in the film.
Both actors were phenomenal.
Michael Gambon looked uncannily like George V.
Great casting!

(27,121 posts)4. No need to apologize! I was kind of teasing.
Because the statement is true for both actors!

had the misfortune of competing against the "Dude" Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. The Dude had never won and I think that contributed to him winning. Firth's performance was better IMO.

Jonny Lee Miller was good as well, but nobody beats Colin!
