The King's Speech looked set to bring British cinema back into the spotlight and with four wins at the Oscars it did not disappoint.
In previous years other British films have seen triumphs at the Academy Awards, notably the huge success of Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire in 2009, and this year has been no exception.
Beloved Brit actor Colin Firth stole the show with an Oscar for best actor and director Tom Hooper walked away with best director as well as an overall best picture for the royal film based on King George VI.
With a win for best supporting actor for The Fighter, Christian Bale joined the ranks of Brit Academy Award winners.
But which British actors and directors have won the Academy Awards, since their inception in the 1930s?
Thanks to the British Film Institute, we've got the full list here. In their words, it includes:
Individuals who were either born, and lived and worked, in Britain into their adult lives, or those who were not born here but took on citizenship.
Which means some of you may not agree with the results - is the Deer Hunter a British film, for instance?
