Firth up for best actor as 'King's Speech' lands 14 Bafta nominations

Colin Firth continued his success today with a Bafta nomination for best actor for his role in 'The King’s Speech'.

The movie is also up for best film and best director at the annual awards.

'The King’s Speech' receives 14 nominations, while 'Black Swan' follows with 12, including best actress for Natalie Portman.

Firth's nomination, for his role as stammering King George VI, comes after he increased his chances of Oscar glory by picking up the Golden Globe for best actor.

His co-star, Helena Bonham Carter, is up for best supporting actress for her role as Queen Elizabeth in the film.

The movie, which had a disappointing result at the Golden Globes when it won just one of its seven nominations, is also up for best British film.

Firth’s rivals in the best actor category are US actor Jesse Eisenberg for 'The Social Network', Jeff Bridges for 'True Grit', Javier Bardem for 'Biutiful' and James Franco for the Danny Boyle film'127 Hours'.
