I love the Internet. I did a Google search for "Roman Polanski" and "statutory rape," and guess what came up first? Our favorite website: www.ageofconsent.com.

The page actually contains some enlightening articles, along with an interesting detail about the case that I'd forgotten (Polanski was arrested at Jack Nicholson's house). I agree that saying that Polanski's history might offend "the so-called family-values gang" is an absurd understatement; what the man did is reprehensible by any standard.

In any case, I'd say that we're less likely to see Polanski at the ceremony than any other nominee. Including Donald Kaufman.
