They may well snub the most significant achievement in movie-making since The Jazz Singer. It would be just like those perverse jimcracks to do exactly that.

In which case, it'll also be interesting to see the *feedback* they get.

That's the thing I have come to loathe about the Oscars--I don't think it has anything to do with significance (certainly not excellence) in movie making. Its a big ol' popularity contest. One thing Jackson isn't--popular. Not that he's unpopular, just so far out of the Hollywood schmoozy freakfest as to be virtually non-existent to the folks doing the voting. If it were up to me he would be earning his fourth Oscar this year ("Bad Taste" was robbed, I tell ya!).
