With Sherman are his two other co-producers of the film - - Iain Canning and Gareth Unwin - - featuring the crippling stammering of monarch, King George VI, played by British actor, Colin Firth. "The Bridget Jones' Diary" star also bested fellow-nominees for the best actor award in the lead role category.

The Australian producer who holds a Masters degree in English Literature and a Bachelor of Law degree, had worked with great actors including Kenneth Branagh for “Rabbit Proof Fence”; Dennis Hopper and Melanie Griffith for Paul Goodman’s “The Night We Called it a Day” and Rod Freedman’s award-winning documentary, “Uncle Chatzkel”.

The Oscar-winning producer holds a Masters Degree in English Literature, a Bachelor of Law Degree, and had a background in journalism before entering the film industry.

Sherman will get busier after Oscars as his film production is due to start filming “Disgrace” featuring A-list actor, John Malkovich.
