The King's Speech to Helena Bonham Carter

I know this movie's about King George VI, his speech impediment and the man who helped him overcome it, and don't get me wrong. Colin Firth deserved his Golden Globe hands down, and all the accolades this movie's getting pre-BAFTA's with a whopping 14 nominations are not only merited but expected. HOWEVER I CANNOT help but recognize the ever-lovely Helena Bonham Carter, who totally should've won her Golden Globe. She was just EXCEPTIONAL. I mean, come on!! She's practically married to Tim Burton and he's as dark and odd as they get by directing morbid yet cute and inspiring movies like The Corpse Bride, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow and the oddest version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I have ever seen. She was MARLA in THE FIGHT CLUB and she just played the Queen Mum during the 30's!!!!!! She's an outrageously versatile actress that has got to be acknowledged for her incandescent work. She NEEDS a freaking award already, she's BELLATRIX LESTRANGE!!!!!! She's been nominated for six, count them SIX Golden Globe awards!! Somebody give her SOMETHING to recognize her awesome brilliantness!!!!!

So far, according to IMDB, these are all the Golden Globes she's been nominated for. Quite the snub, even for the film, The Wings of the Dove, which she was also nominated for an Acadamy Award. COMPLETE snub.

2011 for: The King's Speech (2010).

2008 for: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007).

2003 for: Live from Baghdad (2002) (TV).

1999 for: Merlin (1998).

1998 for: The Wings of the Dove (1997).

1994 for: Fatal Deception: Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald (1993) (TV).

I mean, even the BAFTA's, the British version of the Oscars, she gets snubbed by them three times...I REALLY hope she wins this one.

2011 for: The King's Speech (2010).

2010 for: "Enid" (2009) (TV).

1998 for: The Wings of the Dove (1997).

1993 for: Howards End (1992).
