| Colin Firth and his star! |
Colin Firth has been honoured with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Apparently, the location is right beside Emma Thompson's (very apropos in my humble opinion). He was his regular self-deprecating self as he thanked Hollywood for this honour. What a class act!
By the way, if you haven't seen The King's Speech, run don't walk to the theater. It's fabulous!
Late breaking update.....Colin just won best actor at the 16th Annual Critics' Choice Awards today. Yay Colin!
Yay for Colin! I love that he is next to Emma Thompson! Thanks for posting! I wouldn't have known about it otherwise!
ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, my sister tipped me off to this today. I will be watching the Oscars with more interest than usual this year. I wonder if they are going to have an English block of stars soon. Apparently, Emma and Colin are in front of a pub called The Pig and Whistle. I'd love to have a drink there!
ReplyDeleteJenny, is it silly of us to get excited each time he wins an award for this performance? No, it is not!! I had goosebumps watching the film on that freezing night in Ottawa and each award that the film earns makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI also take delight in hearing only rave reviews so far from anyone who's seen it! Here's hoping that we can clink glasses across the province when he wins the Oscar!
I'll be thinking of you on Oscar night. I've seen TKS twice now, once with The Squire, and once with a gaggle of girlfriends. Now I'd love to have the DVD with all the wonderful extras. We aren't silly, we are just passionate, right?
ReplyDeletePassionate indeed! Even if the film or actors don't win their various nominations, I'm pleased that the film is receiving wonderful attention so that many more will venture out to see it!
ReplyDeleteColin Firth on one knee and looking right at me! **Sigh!**
