Four Academy Awards─including Best Picture, Director, and Actor─went to this biopic of 1930s Britain's King George VI. Colin Firth shines as the monarch whose stuttering is seen as a liability in an age when leaders must be appealing on the radio and in newsreels. George (then Prince Albert) turns to Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) for help before ascending to the throne in the wake of his father's death and his older brother's unexpected abdication. Helena Bonham Carter also stars. 119 min.
