The King's Speech star emerged as the number one pick ahead of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2's Daniel Radcliffe and Ryan Gosling, whose packed 2011 saw him appear in Blue Valentine, Drive and Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Harry Potter's Alan Rickman is at number four, followed by Rise of the Planet of the Apes's Andy Serkis in five. Serkis's performance capture turn as primate rebel Caesar has prompted calls for an Oscar nomination from studio 20th Century Fox and director Rupert Wyatt.

Firth won the 'Best Actor' Oscar in February this year for his portrayal of King George VI in The King's Speech. The monarch overcomes a crippling stammer with the help of Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) to lead Britain to war.
