Very excited to see Nine Inch Nails in there! That’s awesome! Trent Reznor’s work on movie soundtracks in recent years demonstrates his impressive musical talent – after listening to The Social Network score over and over again i went back to listen to some NIN albums that hadn’t seen the light of day since i was about 18. Great music, really original an interesting. Glad to see they are getting the recognition they deserve.

And here I thought I’d be the only one appreciating NIN. We will have to see if they make the cut.
