I doubt that Zelig will win the BEST PICTURE oscar whether it actually
deserves it or not.  Let`s not forget that when Woody Allen won
that same award for Annie Hall he did not even show up at the
ceremony but instead was performing with his jazz band.

That was a no no in the eyes of the Academy.  And anybody who snubs 
the Academy is unlikely to be considered for any future awards.

Let`s face it.  The Academy certainly does not make awards on the
basis of the movie`s merit alone.  The politics and money of the 
industry has a lot of sway.
