"Colin Firth has admitted that he used to hate awards ceremonies. The A Single Man star, who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award, joked that he has now changed his mind. &amp;quot;When I was young, I remember being quite militant about these things,&amp;quot; he told the Daily Record. &amp;quot;I said there should not be awards. Well, now I have changed my mind about all that. They are a very good thing!&amp;quot; Firth added that he was particularly honoured to win the best actor award at the Venice Film Festival because his wife Livia is Italian. &amp;quot;Winning in Venice was absolutely fantastic,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It was a very special thing as far as I was concerned, not least because I have such an Italian strand in my life. And I was able to say &amp;#039;thank you&amp;#039; in Italian.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Click here to watch the trailer for A Single Man "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
