The King's Speech crowned Best Picture

The King's Speech has been crowned best picture at the Academy Awards ceremony.

The monarchy drama led as expected, with four Oscars and predictable favorites claiming acting honors.

Colin Firth starred as the stammering British ruler George VI in The King's Speech and earned the best-actor prize.

Natalie Portman won best actress as a delusional ballerina in Black Swan.

The boxing drama The Fighter claimed both supporting-acting honors, for Christian Bale as a boxer-turned-drug-abuser and Melissa Leo as a boxing clan's domineering matriarch.

The King's Speech also won the directing prize for Tom Hooper and the original-screenplay Oscar for David Seidler, a boyhood stutterer himself.
