Colin Flirth will win an Oscar, says Helena Bonham Carter

LONDON - Helena Bonham Carter is confident her ‘The King’s Speech’ co-star Colin Flirth ‘will win’ an Oscar.

Firth received a nod in the Best Actor category at this year’s ceremony for his role in ‘A Single Man’, but lost out to Jeff Bridges, who took gold for his performance as a country singer in ‘Crazy Heart’.

Firth’s new movie ‘The King’s Speech’ has already won him rave reviews and a number of awards nominations, including a Golden Globes nod, which was announced on Tuesday.

Bonham Carter is also nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in the film and she’s convinced her pal will go on to triumph at the Oscars.

“I’ve had a Golden Globe nomination before and then didn’t get an Oscar nomination. But I presume Colin will get one, and I presume Colin will win,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying. (ANI)
