Which British actor has recently won an Oscar?

An Oscar is an award given by the Academy to recognise outstanding work in film in a given year. Among these British actors, Colin Firth is the one who has won an Oscar for acting, taking Best Actor for The King's Speech at the 2011 ceremony. That makes him the correct answer. Hugh Laurie is a renowned actor but has not won an Oscar. Jude Law has been nominated but has not won. Charles Chaplin did win Oscars long ago (including an honorary Award), but those are not recent. So Colin Firth is the British actor among these who has won an Oscar.
