Secretly, I can't help but wonder if he decided not to go because he doesn't have many supporters left. He's burned a lot of bridges over the years, maybe his me-first ego turned everybody off and nobody wanted to be his presenter.

Let's remember this is a guy who used to say "I love me some me". So I think all of this comes down to him just being a big selfish baby. Waaaahhh I didn't get in first ballot so now I'm going to stomp my feet and not show up to the ceremony. That will show everybody.
It's a shame because he could have mended a lot of fences by showing up and showing some humility, reflecting on his career in an honest manner, and maybe owning up to some of his faults. One day he'll regret not going through the process, it could have been some much needed closure for him on his career. Instead he's going to continue on with his stupid "me against the world" charade.
