‘The King’s Speech’ expectedly won the Best Film award in addition to unpredictable Best British film of the year. The film based on the British Monarch’s triumph over his stammering struggle delivered the punch with 7 BAFTA awards out of 14 nominations.
However, the ‘Black Swan’ makers would be a little upset with the only award ‘Best actress’ which went to Portman despite 12 nominations it has received.
Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, the duo who played the speech therapist of the monarch went home with the best supporting actor and actress trophies.
But, what would have been the most satisfactory award, the best director trophy for ‘The King…’ Tom Hooper went to ‘David Fincher’, who directed ‘The Social Network,’ which also got two other awards including the best adapted screenplay to ‘Aaron Sorkin’.
