BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM AWARDS

Perhaps foreshadowing the 2011 Oscars, The King's Speech walked away with five wins at the British Independent Film Awards in London, England, including three of four acting categories. The Tom Hooper drama had a successful weekend at the box-office in a largely limited release. Also popular was Gareth Edwards' low budget sci-fi film Monsters, which earned three trophies. Along with the regular winners, Helena Bonham Carter and Liam Neeson were given honourary accolades.
