"David Seidler jokingly thanked Queen Elizabeth II at tonight&amp;#039;s 83rd annual Academy Awards. The screenwriter was accepting the Oscar for &amp;#039;Best Original Screenplay&amp;#039; for his work on The King&amp;#039;s Speech. Seidler said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for not putting me in the Tower of London for using the Melissa Leo f-word.&amp;quot; Leo accidentally swore when accepting the Oscar for &amp;#039;Best Supporting Actress&amp;#039; earlier in the evening. The 73-year-old is the oldest recipient of the &amp;#039;Best Original Screenplay&amp;#039; award to date, and he added that he hoped his record would be broken &amp;quot;quickly and often&amp;quot;. Seidler, who himself had speech therapy for a stutter as a teenager, added: &amp;quot;I accept this award on behalf of all the stutterers in the world. We have a voice, we have been heard thanks to you, the Academy.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
