Which Best Picture winner centers on King George VI and speech therapist Lionel Logue?

The Best Picture winner centered on King George VI and speech therapist Lionel Logue is The King's Speech.

Tom Hooper’s 2010 historical drama follows Prince Albert, Duke of York, who becomes King George VI after his brother Edward VIII abdicates in 1936. Albert, known privately as Bertie, struggles with a severe stammer and seeks help from Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. Colin Firth portrays the king.

The film builds toward George VI’s 1939 radio address after Britain declares war on Nazi Germany. Logue helps him prepare, but the movie does not show the king speaking without any difficulty; it dramatizes his ability to manage the stammer under enormous pressure. Their professional relationship also develops into a lasting friendship.

A common mix-up is confusing the film with The Queen, which focuses on the British monarchy after Princess Diana’s death. The King’s Speech was nominated for 12 Oscars at the 83rd Academy Awards and won four, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Firth.
