I couldn't see or listen to the winners' acceptance speeches before the afternoon. I did it and get moved, of course, though none of them sounded unforgettable.
I saw The King's Speech not long ago and agreed with a review that defined it as ..." a speech that leaves you speechless", impossible not to love it.
So, for the first time after many years , I got interested in the most glamorous red carpet and award giving/receiving show, which I usually can't sympathize with. Honestly, I've always hated the stardom and what it meant. This time, it was different. Colin Firth is someone I can highly esteem and even sympathize with. The same happenend when Giuseppe Tornatore, Gabriele Salvatores or Roberto Benigni won. They were Italians, yes! But they were, especially, extremely out of and far from the Hollywood star system.
This time, with Colin Firth and his Italian wife, Livia Giuggioli, it was as if Italy partly won again. But I can as well and willingly support British talent, as you can guess having a look around my blog.
I was only disappointed for Geoffrey Rush : I wished he had been rewarded too for his extraordinary performance as Lionel Logue . But Mr Colin Firth made it as best actor and The King's Speech as the best film this year and other two awards came, as well. I , actually, would have awarded Colin Firth last year, already, for his extraordinarily touching performance in "A Single Man".
However , Colin Firth has won every possible award in this amazing year and did it graciously: he was funny, humble and charming on any occasion and, as he confessed in this interview in Italian in the video below: he is only apparently calm, inside "è un casino..., a pezzi" , that is , he is a mess, shattered. Even after more than 30 red carpets. "Ma a casa nostra non abbiamo tappeti rossi" ( we have no red carpet in our home), he jokingly assures.

I particularly love this interview in Italian. How odd but warming is to hear his Italian. He sounds so spontaneous and humble. Friendly, charming, nothing like proud and snobbish Mr Darcy.
Though he was, has been, is and will always be OUR Mr Darcy.
Congratulazioni! Grande, Colin!
