I guess I can't vote since the gift certificate will be useless for me, being in the U.S.

Baker Street's not a place, it's a state of mind.

Didn't notice Dario Marianelli was nominated in best score. From what I've heard, that was sensational. Much better than Newman's efforts.

Anyone is eligible.

"We have people everywhere..."

Here's my ballot. I don't necessarily want some of these to win, but think they will.
