It's time for next year's nominees to start. I'm not proposing to maintain the list (The Two Corbys,people would say), but what do you think his chances are?

I'm not sure. Brad Renfro was left out, but then again, he wasn't as well-known as Haim. Given the John Hughes standalone tribute, they may include him since he was known to people who grew up with Hughes' films. I think it's a 50-50 chance.
On the other hand, they may decide to make it longer and more inclusive due to the complaints about Farrah Fawcett and others being left out. In that case, he would probably be mentioned.

Better the Two Corbys (Corbies, actually) than the Two Louis's !!!
(actually, more like the Two Ronnies than anything! lol!)
As for Corey Haim I highly doubt it, but you never know; if no more than 20 or so film industry folk die in the next, say, 11 1/2 months than there is every chance that Corey Haim would be the type of person the Academy would look at to complete their list, and he wasnt even a unidexter!!!

Unless they cut the reel entirely and direct people to their website. These people would cure a headache with decapitation.

Timing is everything. If he'd died next February, I think he'd be in there. As it is, I'd give him 50-50 at best. -- _+_ From the catapult of |If anyone objects to any statement I make, I am _|70|___:)=}- J.D.

Well, I think he was blue when they found him, if that's any help....r

For suitably loose definitions of "original"...here's Lissauer's entry on the song:
Deep Purple. w. Mitchell Parish, m. Peter DeRose, 1934, 1939, 1963. Written and first published as a piano composition and introduced orchestrally by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, a year later. Parish added the lyrics in 1939 and the song reached the #1 position on "Your Hit Parade," with top records by Larry Clinton, vocal by Bea Wain (Victor); and Bing Crosby (Decca). Doris Rhodes, who had her own radio show emanating from New York, used it as her theme song and billed herself as "The Deep Purple Girl." Billy Ward had a Top 40 record (Liberty), 1957; Nino Tempo and April Stevens had a #1 version (Atco), 1963; Donny and Marie Osmond had a hit (MGM), 1976. Andre De Shields and company sang it in the Mitchell Parish musical (TM) Stardust, 1987.
Adding my own data, I believe I've heard a version by Les Paul and Mary Ford as well, which would have been after Doris Rhodes but probably before Billy Ward....r
