Could we just keep Tina Fey and Steve Martin, and send everyone else home? "Don't fall in love with me," said Martin. Sorry, Steve. You're 35 years too late.
If for some reason any of the other actors win Best-Supporting Actor, they'll be viewed as that A-hole who deprived Heath of the posthumous honor.
It's been fairly easy to predict the Oscars over the past few years. Sadly, this year's contest seems to be no different.
I worship her, but Tina Fey couldn't have won more awards if she'd died tragically a year ago. She'll probably pick up an Oscar next month, and she's not even nominated.

2008, the year of death, decay and the wisdom of the beautiful loser. The year movie stars examined their own mortality and fading beauty via their on-screen persona.
Two actors from Gone With the Wind--Evelyn Keyes who played Suellen O'Hara and Fred Crane who played Stuart Tarleton one of Scarlett's many beaus passed away in 2008.
Can both Sean Penn and Heath Ledger win? Can we have one Oscar for the Dark Side? and one for the, well, Good Side?
