Colin Firth belives that Crazy Heart's Jeff Bridges will pip him to the 'Best Actor' prize at next month's Academy Awards.
Firth, who scooped the top acting BAFTA on Sunday, does not rate his chances of replicating the victory at the Oscars, according to his A Single Man co-star Matthew Goode.
"Even Colin said to me the other day: 'I think it's going to be Jeff Bridges's year, really'," Goode told DS. "Either way I think he's just thrilled to be nominated."
Goode, who appears opposite Amy Adams in this week's rom-com Leap Year, admitted that he will be cheering for Firth to pick up the Oscar.
"It's weird to say 'proud', but we did shoot it in 21 days and he went through hell and back, working 20 hours days non-stop... He's an incredibly subtle actor and I don't think he's been given enough credit over the years," Goode said.
