Who won the Best Actor Oscar for playing King George VI, a.k.a. Queen Elizabeth's dad?

Firth played George VI in 2010's "The King's Speech." George never expected to be king but ascended to the throne when his older brother wanted to marry an American divorcée and was forced to abdicate as a result. The '50s were weird, y'all.
