What a joy it was to see Colin Firth basking in Oscar's glory... he's such a decent chap, and such a great actor, it was a pleasure indeed to see him win!  All hail and congratulations to Colin Firth and his fellow actors, including Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Anthony Andrews, Claire Bloom -- what a cast!!! -- who turned in marvelous performances, to complement Firth's magnificent portrayal of King George VI, struggling with a speech impediment to rise to the awful challenge of leading England in time of war -- World War II, when the freedom of the West was at stake...
