Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech has won the narrative audience award at the Hampton’s International Film Festival.

Jill Andresevic’s Love Etc took the documentary audience award and Alice Nellis’ Mamas & Papas won the Golden Starfish Award Narrative Prize, as well as the Zicherman Family Foundation Screenplay honour.

The award for The King’s Speech (pictured), produced by See-Saw Films and Bedlam Productions, will be a boost for the likely awards season contender. Starring Colin Firth as the UK’s King George VI, the film is set for US release through The Weinstein Company on November 24.
