Oscar, Pah! Mine’s A Knighthood

With just hours to go before the final Oscar ballots have to be sent in, one shortlisted nominee is already flying high from quite a different award. Kingsley, who's already picked up a Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Gandhi, was today knighted at Buckingham Palace and according to him, that beats Sunday's ceremony in Los Angeles hands-down. 'I'm shaking and my heart is pounding,' Sir Kingsley told reporters after the ceremony was over. 'I told the Queen that winning an Oscar pales into insignificance - this is insurmountable.'
