Just to recap, then. Two weeks ago, The King's Speech won a best actor Golden Globe for Colin Firth. A week and a half ago, it picked up 14 Bafta nominations. It's been top of the UK box office for three weeks. And on Tuesday it won 12 Oscar nominations. A whole dozen.

• Here's the full list
• Here's a video reaction
• Here's the frontrunners in pictures
• And here's the full list of winners and nominees so far this season
In other King's Speech news, Harvey Weinstein announced he might release a bowdlerised cut for family audiences in the States after the Oscars. Shameless campaigning? You decide.
Sundance
Over in Park City, Sundance kicked off this time last week. Despite the prominence of documentaries, the big story so far has still been the premiere of Kevin Smith's Red State: a horror set in a world overrun by Christian fundamentalists. We previewed it, reviewed it, and then reflected.
