Well, this is something I never could have expected...a controversy! Steve Pond's article stating that my song was ineligible for Oscar consideration has resulted in a few other bloggers offering their takes on the matter. Alex Billington at firstshowing.net posted a great little piece that has generated comments:

This is all quite fascinating. Complicating matters in an interesting way, one of the guys at Incontention.com updated his predicted Oscar nominees and now has my song listed as one of 5 likely contenders! It'll be fun watching all this play out, even though I think my chances of a nomination are minimal at best. But like one commenter said, even if I'm nixed from the Oscars, there's always the Golden Globes and the Grammys!
