Dissing Bruce Springsteen by not nominating "The Wrestler" for Best Song (when there are only three nominees in a category that usually has five) wasn't enough, now The Oscars are having the three songs that were nominated -- A.R. Rahman's "Jai Ho" and "O Saya" from Slumdog Millionaire and Peter Gabriel's "Down To Earth" from Wall-E -- are going to be performed as a medley. Gabriel has said in a video on his web site that he'll attend the ceremony, but he's not going to perform. I think everyone is a winner in that category, and they should be allowed to perform their songs in full. At any rate, I will be curious who wins in the major categories -- but I'll wait to read about it the next day.
