Ok, boring news.

All I can say is I am stunned that Captain Von Trapp is only finally getting an invitation. How humiliating. I hope he refuses.

To go with his 0 nominations.
Poor guy, he's great and I can't believe he gets invited at the same time as people like D.J Caruso!

Thrilled to see J.J and Desplat though, two of the best in what they do.
