Crowning glory: The King's Speech has six nominations with Colin Firth in the running for Best Actor


- King's Speech stars Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush also nominated

- Other Brits up for Academy Awards include King's Speech director Tom Hooper, Mike Leigh, Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale and Banksy

- Bonham Carter 'thrilled' at 'menopausal' nomination - Firth cracks open champagne


Colin Firth looks set to crown the best year of his career to date after landing an Oscar nomination for his role in The King's Speech.

The actor is odds on favourite to add to his Best Actor Golden Globe for his portrayal of George VI and is one of a charge of Brits who have got the nod in the shortlist for this year's prestigious Academy Awards.

Meanwhile, the £9million film he starred in about the monarch with a stammer could go on to collect the movie world’s biggest prize for Best Film, as well as Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director for the man behind the camera, Brit Tom Hooper.

Firth was overwhelmed at the news, saying: 'Currently celebrating with my colleagues three feet above the ground. Not used to this much joy, or this much champagne at this hour.'

He told the Daily Mail: 'I know this is all happening around me but I haven't quite fathomed out that it's actually happening to me.

'It's very humbling and what I must not forget is that I am just one small part of a much larger team. George VI was a very brave man and it makes it easier for me to understand why our present Queen is such an extraordinary woman'.


The British are coming: Helena Bonham Carter (L) is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Mike Leigh for Best Screenplay for Another Year and Christian Bale could bag Best Supporting Actor for The Fighter


Of the other Brits set for success, Firth's co-star Helena Bonham Carter will be also be joining him at the 83rd Academy Awards as she's been nominated for Best Actress In A Supporting Role for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Firth's co-star Geoffrey Rush has also been nominated for Best Actor In A Supporting Role and the film is also up for Best Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design, Original Score, Film Editing, Original Screenplay, Sound Mixing and Costume Design.

The film has now taken over £20 million in box office takings and is selling £1 million worth of tickets a day in the UK.

Rush said of his nomination: 'It's really wonderful. It's sort of like Ben-Hur proportions. It all seems a bit crazy, you know?'


On song: Both Firth and Geoffrey Rush are up for Oscars for their roles in The King's Speech which has a huge 12 nominations in total


Helena told the Daily Mail she was was 'thrilled' that she'd received what she termed a 'menopausal nomination'.

She said: 'I've got a menopausal nomination at age 44 and it feels marvelous. At my age you don't expect an Oscar nomination.

'What's exciting is that people are connecting to the film all over the country. People in Brixton (south London) and all over are giving it a standing ovation and people come up to me and say, "You made me cry".

Helena watched the nominations at home in London with her two children.
'I was with the little ones on the sofa and and they both went 'yeah'! And that about sums it up', she added.

She said she was very surprised for herself but delighted for Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. 'It's their bromance, it's about the two of them', she said.


Another Academy Award nomination: Ruth Sheen and Jim Broadbent in Mike Leigh's Another Year, which is up for Best Original Screenplay


Brit Christian Bale has also been named alongside Rush as one of the five in the Best Actor In A Supporting Role category for his turn in boxing biopic The Fighter.

Danny Boyle meanwhile has been given three nods for his true life story 127 Hours, for Best Film, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, and fellow national film treasure Mike Leigh has been nominated for Best Original Screenplay for his movie Another Year.

The 67-year-old Lancastrian, who was most recently nominated for Happy Go Lucky, said of his nomination: 'I'm thrilled to bits.'


Not an illusion: British director Christopher Nolan's Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is up for a clutch of awards including Best Screenplay and Best Film


London-born director Christopher Nolan meanwhile, who now has dual British-American citizenship, has has his mind-bending Inception nominated for Best Film and is up against Leigh for Best Original Screenplay.

Aaron Sorkin, who is up for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network, told U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America: 'My recommendation to anybody who wants to get an Oscar nomination is, work with David Fincher. It was just a triumph of teamwork.'


Unveiling: Oscar winner Mo'Nique, who landed her gong last year for Precious, and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak read the nominees for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards


British artist Banky's film Exit Through The Gift Shop has also been nominated for Best Documentary Feature, the BBC adaptation of children's book The Gruffalo is up for Best Animated Short Film and the UK's National Film And Television School will be thrilled to be listed in the Best Live Action Short Film category for The Confession.

It could be a fine night for British film - which could make real Colin Welland's 'The British are coming!' battlecry in 1982 when he collected his Oscar for Chariots Of Fire.


The winner is...James Franco, who has been nominated for Best Actor for his role in Danny Boyle's 127 Hours, will co-present the ceremony with Anne Hathaway on 27 February


Other movies doing well in the standings include the Coen brothers' remake of classic western True Grit with 10 nominations, closely followed by Facebook movie The Social Network and Inception on eight each, The Fighter on seven, 127 Hours on six, psychosexual nail-biter Black Swan and Toy Story 3 on five each and crime thriller Winter's Bone on four.

The hugely-coveted Best Film category - which has seen nominations double from a shortlist of five to 10 - also sees the inclusion of lesbian family drama The Kids Are All Right.


True class: The Coen brothers' remake of classic western True Grit has been nominated a huge 10 Oscars including Best Film, with Jeff Bridges (L) up for Best Actor and 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld (R) up for Best Supporting Actress


The Best Actress field looks set to be a battle between Annette Bening for The Kids Are All Right, who already landed the Globe for Best Actress In A Musical Or Comedy, and Natalie Portman, who bagged the Globe for Best Dramatic Actress for her role in Black Swan.

Blue Valentine's Michelle Williams, Jennifer Lawrence from Winter's Bone and Nicole Kidman are also in the running.

Kidman, who plays a grieving mother for her nominated role in Rabbit Hole, said: 'What an extraordinary journey this film has taken me on!

'Rabbit Hole has been a labour of love and I'm so thankful to John Cameron Mitchell, David Lindsay-Abaire and the brilliant cast. This nomination reflects all of the heart and soul that these people have put into it and I can't thank them enough.'

Why so glum? Birthday girl Elen Rivas failed to raise a smile as she celebrated turning 36 alongside boyfriend Peter Andre


She should be one of the happiest women around, celebrating her birthday with her new love Peter Andre.

But tonight Elen Rivas failed to raise a smile as she left a hairdressers ahead of her 36th birthday celebrations in London.

The former Dancing On Ice contestant looked glum and withdrawn as she was photographed leaving the salon, despite being dressed up to the nines in a pretty red ruffled dress and heels.

In sharp contrast, her boyfriend Peter, who looked questionable in a shiny black suit, was doing enough grinning for the both of them.


Party time: But Elen didn't look much in the mood for celebrating on her night out


While they have only been dating for a few months, things appear to be moving very quickly for the new celebrity couple, with reports even claiming Peter is keen to move in with his Spanish lover.

And the father-of-two has already gone all out for Elen's birthday, treating her to a luxurious spa break last week.


Questionable: While Elen wore a pretty red dress, Peter's shiny black suit was undoubtedly questionable


He wrote in his column in new! magazine: 'It was Elen's birthday last Friday and I took her away to a gorgeous spa hotel.

'It was so nice to get away and I really enjoyed spoiling her. I haven't got her a present yet though, so I need to sort that out!'

But while Elen seemed downcast on her evening out, she appeared excited earlier in the day as she got ready for the night.

She wrote on her Twitter page: 'Having a join bday party with 2 of my best friends... Loooaaadss of peeooopplee r coming!!!! Cant wait!! Xxx'

Awkward: Kerry Katona poses romantically with Dancing On Ice partner Dan Whiston in a London park... but just looks uncomfortable


Viewers who thought Strictly was bad for splitting up couples will have been astonished by the level of pairing up going on this series in Dancing On Ice.

Long hours spent intimately in each other's company seemed to have set Cupid off - with no fewer than three sets of contestants attracting rumours of romance.

And what's this, a fourth couple caught canoodling off-duty on a park bench in London?

It's Kerry Katona and Dan Whiston, but they won't be fooling anyone with their 'loved up' poses designed to attract positive publicity.

Surely it cannot be any coincidence that days ago Kerry was named as the 'other woman' in a divorce petition.


Convincing? The pair had an animated discussion, sitting as close to one another as possible


Kerry and Dan were dressed casually in tracksuits for their park excursion after their training session, Kerry accessorising with red woollen gloves and a yellow scarf.

Perhaps overheated after working up a sweat on the ice, the pair decided to have a stroll through the park and take a seat on a bench, despite the temperature being in the single digits.

Professional skater Dan, 34, wrapped an arm around Kerry's shoulders and showed her something on his phone, while the 30-year-old reality star leaned awkwardly into his chest.


A right laugh: The reality star and professional skater seemed to be enjoying their al fresco chat, despite the bitterly cold London weather


After chatting for a few minutes on the park bench, and Kerry told an animated story, the duo stood up and walked off again, with the mother-of-four placing a hand on her love interest's stomach.

Rather than coming off as an in-love couple, at ease in each other's company, the whole scene appears staged and unnatural.

Little wonder, given the sensational story that dominated the headlines over the weekend.


Good timing: The romance comes as accusations that emerged this weekend naming Katona as the 'other woman' in her personal trainer's divorce

Blooming: Amanda Holden shows off her baby bump for the first time outside the Britain's Got Talent auditions in Cardiff


She kept her pregnancy a secret for six months before she announcing she was expecting a baby boy three weeks ago.

But today, Amanda Holden finally gave fans a good look at her burgeoning baby bump as she attended the Britain's Got Talent auditions in Cardiff.

The actress, 39, looked glowing in a blue asymmetrical fitted dress and killer heels as she posed outside St David's Hotel as she headed to the Millennium Centre.

Despite the 7C weather, Holden felt brave enough to shed the pink jacket she has been covering her bump with in recent weeks.

She wrote on her Twitter: 'Gorgeous sunny day in Cardiff! Hope the talent is as bright.'

Joining Holden in Wales were her new fellow judges, American actor David Hasselhoff and comedian Michael McIntyre.

She added on Twitter: 'The Hoff is excited cos It's 'Cardiff Bay' Watch.'


Working mum: Holden is planning to star in the West End production of Shrek two months after giving birth


Despite expecting to give birth to her second child in March, Holden insisted it would not affect her work commitments for Britain's Got Talent and starring in the new West End production of Shrek: The Musical.

Holden will play Princess Fiona at Drury Lane when the show opens in May.

The former Cutting It star will film the Britain's Got Talent Series 5 auditions over the next weeks, before returning to the judging panel in late May in time for the live shows


Show us your bump: Holden originally kept her stomach under wraps in a grey coat, before deciding to debut her bump


The couple, who married in December 2008, are already parents to daughter Alexa, aka Lexi, who turns five later this month.

In a statement on her official website, Holden revealed her secret heartbreak last year after losing her unborn child.

It read: 'Amanda Holden and her husband Chris Hughes are delighted to announce that Amanda is 6 months pregnant with their second child.

'Their delight is increased by the fact that last year she tragically lost a baby.
'As they are sure everyone will understand they needed to get the all clear from the doctor before they shared their very happy news.'

In an interview last year, Holden admitted she had started getting broody.

She said: 'I'd love to have more children. I'm 39 so I'd be very lucky, I've got lots of friends who have waited too long. If it happens it happens. But I'm blessed with one.'

Tasty: Sarah Jessica Parker licks her lips as she munches on a giant pretzel while filming scenes for I Don't Know How She Does It in New York today


Filming outside in freezing New York is clearly hungry work.

And so it would seem for Sarah Jessica Parker, who was spotted on location for her upcoming movie while demolishing a giant pretzel.

The 45-year-old actress was joined by her co-star Pierce Brosnan, who nibbled on a small piece of the doughy snack.

But it was SJP who enjoyed the lion's share as they filmed scenes for I Don't Know How She Does It.

Sarah was rugged up in a beige three-quarter length coat teamed with a pair of purple trousers and boots.

Meanwhile Pierce wrapped up in a long navy blue coat and gloves as he shot scenes with his co-star in Madison Square Park in Midtown, Manhattan, today.


Light work: It didn't take long for the actress to get stuck into the doughy snack


Sharing: She was pictured alongside co-star Pierce Brosnan, who is seen here having a nibble on a piece of the pretzel


Snowy New York is currently experiencing cold winter temperatures, with the mercury today at a chilling -7C (20F).

Parker stars as Kate Reddy in the movie, a high-powered finance executive who is the breadwinner for her husband and two children.

I Don't Know How She Does It is a romantic comedy based on the novel by former Daily Mail columnist Allison Pearson.


Lights, camera, eating: The stars were both rugged up in long coats against the freezing temperatures in snowy New York


Other stars in the movie include Kelsey Grammer, Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, Seth Meyers and Iron Man 2 actress Olivia Munn.

Meyers' role remains unclear, but Hendricks is said to be in final negotiations to play Parker's on-screen colleague.

Doug McGrath is directing the film, which started production this month.

Foxy footwear: Kim Kardashian chose to wear thigh-high black leather boots during her flight from NYC to LA


They are definitely not the most practical footwear for travelling in but Kim Kardashian doesn’t seem to care about comfort when making an airport appearance.

The 30-year-old reality TV star strutted through aviation security at Los Angeles Airport in a pair of kinky thigh-high leather boots.

Kim arrived back into LA from her jaunt in the Big Apple wearing a stone-coloured knitted cape and black jeans along with her provocative boots.

As she tottered off the plane Kim left the luggage to a helper, carrying only her handbag as she headed for home.

It seems the voluptuous siren can’t get enough of her racy boots as she was spotting teetering around New York in them just last week.

During her time in NYC Kim met up with fellow reality TV star and friend Jonathan Cheban from The Spin Crowd.


No lugging for the lady: Kim left her bags to a minder as she teetered out of the airport and headed for home


The pair wrapped up against the chilly temperatures to hit the shops and indulged in a spot of retail therapy.

And despite traipsing around a number of high-end boutiques Kim opted to wear her favourite sky-high boots for the shopping trip.

As the glamour model returned to her home town yesterday she was looking happy and relaxed and it’s not surprising as her new series pulled in 3 million viewers during its premier on Sunday night.


Favourite footwear: Kim stepped out in her thigh-high boots as she shopped in New York last week


Kourtney and Kim Take New York premiered as the most-watched show of the series drawing in over a million more viewers than Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami Season two, according to OK! Magazine.

And not only is Kim popular viewing but her fans can’t get enough of learning about the Kardashian clan and Kim now has over 6 million followers on Twitter.

She posted: ‘OMG I just reached 6 million followers! You guys are everything to me! I love and appreciate you! LOVE MY TWIT FAM! Xoxo’


Hot pair: Kim and her sister Kourtney's New Show attracted over 3million viewers when it aired in America on Sunday night


But despite her success taking over NYC Kim appears to be a Californian girl through and through.

As she arrived back in her hometown she posed: ‘I love LA! Such a hot sunny day! Big change from NY freezing weather! Love mixing it up!’

Kim, who has been dating basketball player Kris Humphries for just a couple of weeks, appears to be increasingly broody.
