I'm serious, 50-50 odds on a name drop. Like: I'd like to thank my mother, my analyst, Petr Harmacek, my voice coach, my dog trainer, blah blah blah. So many people go up there onstage and say the most random things, a name drop is pretty small potatoes, and I think by the time the awards roll around, some of the right people will have seen it to make it happen (yes I know Pegg and Wheaton are unlikely to be up there themselves). I'm not suggesting Billy Crystal shows a 15-minute clip or something.

You are correct to detect a half-joking tone for the whole thread. Speculation is fun, especially when we're betting which starlet Harmy will soon be having breakfast with!

I personally think Lucasfilm will say nothing and do nothing, either from a genuine belief that it has no significant impact on them, or for fear of drawing more attention to it.
