King Colin arrives home in London... but did Oscar get his own seat on the plane?

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Homecoming: Oscar winner Colin Firth and his wife Livia Giuggioli arrive at Heathrow Terminal 5 after their flight from Los Angeles


A triumphant Colin Firth returned home to England yesterday following his Oscar win.
The actor, 50, looked happy to be back in London after his long-haul flight from Los Angeles.

Accompanied by his Italian wife Livia Giuggioli, Firth was wheeling a small suitcase behind him - presumably containing his gold Academy Award - through Heathrow's Terminal 5.

No doubt Firth would have kept his precious Oscar on the plane with him rather than entrust it to baggage.

His wife Livia, 41, looked thrilled to be back in the UK, writing on her Twitter: 'Sooo nice to be home.'

As well as being able to enjoy their home comforts at their Chiswick, South-West London, home, the couple will also be able to spend more quality time with their two children Luca, nine, and Matteo, seven.

Over the past few months, Firth has travelled back and forth between the U.S. and Europe, attending premieres of The King's Speech and award ceremonies.

Prior to his triumph at Sunday's Hollywood ceremony, he has also picked up a Bafta, Golden Globe, a Screen Actors' Guild award and the British Independent Film Award for Best Actor, among many others.

But Firth is unlikely to get too much time to recover - he's due to resume filming on his latest movie Michael Winterbottom's The Promised Land in Israel.

He also has several more films in the pipeline, including Gambit and Stoker.

He has already completed Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - the adaptation of the John Le Carre novel - which is due for release in September.

The film - directed by Tomas Alfredson - also stars Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Strong.
