Long live the King……or The King’s Speech that is. The historical biopic made a nearly clean sweep of the Orange British Academy Awards this evening in London.

The film also won as Best Film, Best British Film and for its Original Screenplay. Firth was honored wi...

Not far behind are the films INCEPTION and THE SOCIAL NETWORK. The Leading Actor candi...
