Post your questions for The King's Speech director Tom Hooper

More has been written about The King's Speech on this site than any other film in recent memory. The appetite for King's Speech discussion seems insatiable (Jonathan Freedland's blog on the film was the most-read on the whole site yesterday). Why? Well, partly because more of you have seen it then any other British film lately. Partly because it's an endlessly fascinating film. But what have we missed? What hasn't been discussed in relation to the film?

Now you've got your chance to pose those questions to Tom Hooper, director of The King's Speech. This Friday lunchtime, he'll be live online answering as many of your questions as he can get through. Perhaps you'd like to ask him what he thinks of the praise and attention lavished on the film. Does he feel even a batsqueak of embarrassment that Bafta awarded it 14 nominations on Tuesday? How does he rate its Oscar chances (their nominations are unveiled next week)? Has he any thoughts on the proposed redundancies at Screen Yorkshire, who oiled the wheels on the film's shoot? What's he doing with Jameson's, for whose competition he's a judge? Does he have any tips for aspiring movie-makers? And why are people lapping up his movie while sucking on BYO toffees, rather than popcorn?

Post your questions here and come back tomorrow lunchtime to see the results.
