Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt is backing fellow Brits Colin Firth and Christian Bale to walk away with an Oscar a piece at the end of the month.

Firth and Bale has been winning Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor gongs left right and centre for their performances as King George VI and Dicky Eklund in The King's Speech and The Fighter.

Speaking on Live from Studio Five the actress said: "I think Colin should get it and I think he will, to be honest.

"I don't want to jinx it because that's not really kind of fair.

"But he deserves it, it was an extraordinary performance... and Christian Bale... [He] nailed it!

"So yeah I think those two guys are going to get it. I hope they get it."

Blunt is back on the big screen this week, her voice is at least, with new animation movie Gnomeo and Juliet.

She will also star alongside Matt Damon in The Adjustment Bureau later this year and she has also completed work on Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.

Gnomeo and Juliet is released 11th February.
