After winning the Audience Award at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, The King's Speech [KNGSP] is shaping up to be one of this year's leading awards contender. The Weinstein Co. has debuted the first trailer for the biographical drama starring Colin Firth [CFIRT] as King George VI, who took over the throne of England when his brother Edward abdicates in 1936. The reluctant King has a speech impediment and needs the help of a therapist to overcome his stammer before he can deliver an address to lift the British nation during the darkest hours of World War II.
