Colin Firth partied hard after his Oscar win for the Best Actor but the 'King's Speech' star almost lost his 8lb golden statuette after he left it in the bathroom.

The actor, who won the accolade for his performance as the stuttering King George VI in the British drama, was celebrating the win at a string of swanky champagne soirees but he almost lost the trophy during his trip to the toilet. Luckily, the cloakroom attendant spotted it on a cistern and chased after the star to hand it back, the Mirror reported.
