The Colin's Speech
01 March 2011

After newly crowned national legend Colin Firth picked up the Oscar for Best Actor on Sunday, he delivered a speech that was surprisingly composed.

Well, surprising given that the character he played in The King's Speech was so completely uncomfortable with giving speeches.

The stammering king would have corpsed on stage, watched by around a billion people, and a sneaky online bod has worked up a look at how it would have played out.

Watch and laugh and then feel a bit guilty about it after.
