<p>Dame Helen Mirren has predicted Colin Firth will be crowned best actor at this month&#8217;s Oscars &#8211; but admitted the British film industry is &#8220;always in a dangerous position&#8221;.</p>
<p>The veteran actress, who picked up an Academy Award in 2007 for her regal role in The Queen, said the star would make a worthy winner for his portrayal of a stammering King George VI in The King&#8217;s Speech.</p>
<p>Speaking at the premiere of home-grown film Brighton Rock, Dame Helen said of Colin: &#8220;I think he deserves it, and I think he will get it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actress &#8211; who plays a tea shop manager who becomes tangled up in the seaside town&#8217;s murky underworld in Brighton Rock &#8211; added she hoped her film was part of a positive spell for UK cinema.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is always in a dangerous position. I think it&#8217;s very sad that we lost the British [UK] Film Council&#8230; it&#8217;s strange, the British film industry comes in waves and I hope that this film will be a part of the good wave and a nice big wave.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dressed in a cobalt blue Bruce Oldfield coat and full-skirted Jacques Azagury dress, Dame Helen was joined at Leicester Square&#8217;s Odeon West End by co-stars Sam Riley, John Hurt and Andrea Riseborough, who wore a heavily beaded Armani gown.</p>
<p>Adapted from Graham Greene&#8217;s 1930s novel and updated to 1964, Brighton Rock follows vicious young mobster Pinkie &#8211; played by Sam &#8211; as he claws his way through the ranks of the town&#8217;s gang scene.</p>
<p>The tale was first made into a film in 1947, with a youthful Richard Attenborough starring as Pinkie.</p>
