No Oscar win for Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter, pictured, didn’t win an Oscar for her performance in The King’s Speech but she has been awarded a CBE, a senior honour.
Conversely, Colin Firth won a Best Actor Oscar as the stammering King George VI but got nothing in the New Year Honours list.
A source who studies such matters says: ‘Could it be that Miss Bonham Carter’s portrayal of the Queen Mother verged on reverence, and was therefore pleasing to the Palace?
While Mr Firth’s performance contained some 25 explosive profanities, including “f***”, “s***” and “b*****” among others. Firth might have turned down a bauble, of course.’
This post was WRONG. Colin received his CBE in June of 2011 http://britsunited.blogspot.com/2012/01/colin-firth-receives-invite-to-palace.html
