Oscars for King and Queen
Helen Mirren has downplayed her Oscar winning portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II by saying that it was the Queen people fell in love with and not her acting. Forest Whitaker was also very humble after winning the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. 'I think people fell in love with Idi Amin,' said Forest in an interview after the ceremony, 'I could only portray the murderous dictator as best I could but I think the spirit of the insane, paranoid but ultimately lovable Amin shone through. I think anyone who was touched by his years in power will understand that.'
