Crying Lovers / Colin Firth's Oscar Speech

**Posted by White Tulip** February 13, 2016 4:35 am

Here's a classic moment: Colin Firth (whom I take it cries more in films than he does in real life) getting emotional toward the end of his 2011 Oscar-win speech for The King's Speech. (By the way, does anyone know what he says at the very end of the speech, after the part about needing to attend to some "impulses backstage"? His voice is so thick by that point, it's hard to tell):

"And now if you'll all excuse me I have some impulses I have to attend to backstage. Thank you very much and [indistinct] pardon"

The 'impulses' were so totally a need to cry. He was so close to tears.
