<p>Jeff Bridges is tipping Colin Firth to succeed him as winner of the best actor award at this year&#8217;s Oscars.</p>
<p>Bridges took the accolade last year for Crazy Heart with Firth among the disappointed nominees for A Single Man.</p>
<p>Bridges, this year nominated for True Grit, believes the roles will be reversed and that Firth will be celebrating on February 27 when the Academy Awards are handed out.</p>
<p>Bridges, speaking at the annual luncheon for nominees in Beverly Hills, said of Firth&#8217;s performance in The King&#8217;s Speech: &#8220;He&#8217;ll probably take home the trophy this year. He gives a wonderful performance.&#8221;</p>
<p>Firth &#8211; starring as the Queen&#8217;s stammering father, King George VI, who reluctantly took the throne in 1936 after his brother abdicated &#8211; joked that he sometimes gets royal treatment since the film came out.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do get the odd bow, which I put down to either confusion or facetiousness,&#8221; Firth said.</p>
<p>Others at the lunch included Firth&#8217;s co-stars, supporting-acting nominees Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush, and supporting contenders Amy Adams (The Fighter), John Hawkes (Winter&#8217;s Bone), Jeremy Renner (The Town) and Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom).</p>
<p>In all 151 nominees attended the luncheon.</p>
<p>Talk inevitably touched on what nominees would wear to the Oscars, one of the world&#8217;s biggest fashion showcases.</p>
<p>Natalie Portman, pregnant with her first child and showing a pronounced baby bump, said picking out an Oscar gown is more challenging with an expanding waistline. &#8220;It&#8217;s certainly all about leaving space for growth,&#8221; said Portman, the best-actress front-runner for Black Swan, who lamented that fashion has become such a fixation in awards season.</p>
