Excellent news, John.
All it needs now is for Wallace to be nominated as Best Actor, Gromit as Best Supporting Actor (or vice versa, I don't mind), and the movie as Best Film.
Best Sound, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay et al, wouldn't go amiss either.
Then I can start
considering the
possibility of at long last forgiving the Academy for its 1986 criminal act of awarding the Oscar for Best Score to Herbie Hancock's dreary 'something-or-other' instead of Morricone's masterpiece (just one of many) 'The Mission'.
