Oscars and Best Song Nominees - Keep Going Downhill

Apparently, despite there only being three nominated Best Songs, this year's Oscars are doing them all as a medley, rather than giving each song a full runtime.  That's why Peter Gabriel wants nothing to do with it, and I can't say I blame him.  I mean, seriously, why does the Academy keep giving the nominated songs the short shrift? Either nominating too few or nominating too many from one movie (which amounts to the same thing, really), and now this?  I mean, honestly, what do they think they have to make time for?  I guess we'll find out on Sunday.
