Doing a joy dance. Twas my first thought when MF slipped up at the BAFTA's but glad to officially hear this.

Had a bit of a row with former lover about this - he wanted Tom Waites. (great voice, but not Smaug, maybe Smaug's American counterpart )
Ha ha got what I wanted.. Sticking out tongue like a first grader ...
Going to bed now. Tired.
