and I'm delighted to learn that Ben Snow (old school friend) has been nominated for Iron Man 2 (this makes his fourth nomination) and that Shaun Tan has scored a well-deserved nomination for The Lost Thing (and if you don't have a copy of both the book and the DVD, you are missing out!)

I don't normally do this, but it is Australia Day so...

AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, OY OY OY!

And now I must shower the patriotism off me.
