Unfortunately, with his bad timing, he just missed being mentioned at the Grammy Awards. It will be interesting to see if any film people hurry up their demises this week to try to get a nod at the Oscars on Sunday.

He was a delight, a favorite of everybody in my mother's family.

Does that remark about the Grammys mean he won't get a mention next year?

I don't know how they do things at the Grammys.
