Hello Jim, I hope you can attend this event! Blenheim Palace looks like a lovely venue. I just spent a good bit of time reading about it. Oh, also of note, only last Friday 26th February, Mr Morricone was given a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame! www.reuters.com/article/us-music-morricone-star-idUSKCN0W002F |

Hello Paige and Libby!  Yes, Ennio Morricone has been nominated for an Oscar several times since 1979, but this is the first time he's actually won. He was given an Honorary Award in 2007.  You can see all his nominations and awards here: www.imdb.com/name/nm0001553/awardsRichard |
