Coiln Firth had one of the more enjoyable Oscar speeches of the night as he spoke about forbidden yearnings due to his joy over having won the leading actor Oscar for his performance in "The King's Speech." "I have a feeling my career has just peaked. My deepest thanks to the Academy. I'm afraid I have to warn you that I'm experiencing stirrings -- somewhere in the upper abdominals -- that are threatening to form themselves into dance moves. Joyous as it would be for me, it would be extremely problematic if they make it to my legs before I get offstage."
