His being dead I would think helps in getting him the Oscar, as he obviously won't have any more chances to give him the award (using basically the same theory, the Academy tends to give old farts awards for performances that wouldn't normally be deserving of the award, as their shelf life is getting to short for comfort). If he delivers a deserving performance, and it looks like he did, I say give him the award. Just in the 30 seconds I've seen him in the trailers, the performance looks incredible.
