Colin Firth “felt” the support of the UK when he won his Oscar.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old star – who picked up the Best Actor trophy for his portrayal of stuttering British monarch King George VI in ‘The King’s Speech’ on Sunday night (27.02.11) – forgot about the speech he had planned when he took to the stage to accept the accolade but says the backing of his countrymen helped him through.<\/p>\n
He said: “I actually wrote a speech and forgot it. And that was when it came to me, that support at home. I felt it – it was very important to me.”<\/p>\n
The film won a total of four awards – Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay – and Colin was said to be “buzzing” at the movie’s success.<\/p>\n
An insider revealed: “Colin was King for the night. He was absolutely buzzing and good for him. Everyone in Hollywood thought he deserved it.” <\/p>\n
However, he was so shocked later on in the evening that he accidentally left the gold statue in a toilet. <\/p>\n
Luckily, an attendant noticed the forgetful winner’s mistake and ran to give it back to him and he carried on partying the night away.<\/p>\n
A source said: “Everyone was trying to buy him drinks. He may be 50 but he knows how to party and was determined to make the most of the occasion.” <\/p>\n
Despite his exciting evening, Colin later admitted he was glad the parties had drawn to a close.<\/p>\n
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “I think I’m feeling not joy – but relief that it’s over. That seems to be the default position. You could say I’m grateful – and relieved.<\/p>\n
“The whole Oscar adventure has taken months and months of criss-crossing the Atlantic to go to Los Angeles and New York and points in between.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think I’ll need to go to another party ever again.”<\/p>\n
