On Hollywood’s biggest night this year, an independent film from the UK is all set to gatecrash the party. 'The King’s Speech', a superbly acted royal drama, set in the years leading up to World War II, has as many as 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Tom Hooper) and Best Actor (Colin Firth).

The film will end the night with several of the golden statuettes up for grabs. There is only one other film in the race — David Fincher’s 'The Social Network', which traces the creation and phenomenal success of Facebook — that can give 'The King’s Speech' a run for its money.

Several other titles will be mentioned, and even perhaps awarded, on the evening of February 27, when the 83rd annual Academy Awards are handed out, but the British film will remain the firm favourite to hog the limelight.
