Colin Firth earned an Oscar for playing a king, but nonetheless the hotshot actor doesn’t have an invitation to the royal wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton. Not yet, at least.

‘As I understand it the invitations have already gone out,’ Firth quipped to The Times’ Jessica Gelt backstage at the Academy Awards on Sunday night. ‘Mine is definitely lost in the post somewhere. I’m working on tracing it.’

And what about letting loose those dancing-feet impulses he’d talked about having to control onstage while he made his acceptance speech? Could they finally be freed, backstage?

‘I don’t think this is the right environment for that type of behavior,’ he said, ‘and anybody who has seen ‘Mamma Mia’ will know what I mean.’

Aw, c’mon — now ‘feet’ is an F-word too? That’s no fun, Mr. Firth!
