I'm not sure where to post this, sorry:
I think it would be nice to nominate Michael. You can do it here:

This is NOT part of the usual nomination process, and may be ignored by the Committee. However, I think it would still be nice to do this for Michael - just to show how much we love him and how highly we think of him and his humanitarian work. And who knows, if 100,000 signatures are gathered maybe it will be hard for the Committee to ignore this...
The prize will be announced on 8 Oct. 2010:

Is it possible to nominate someone for a posthumous Nobel Prize?
No, it is not. Previously, a person could be awarded a prize posthumously if he/she had already been nominated (before February 1 of the same year), which was true of Erik Axel Karlfeldt (Nobel Prize in Literature 1931) and Dag Hammarskjöld (Nobel Peace Prize, 1961). Effective from 1974, the prize may only go to a deceased person to whom it was already awarded (usually in October) but who had died before he/she could receive the Prize on December 10 (William Vickrey, 1996 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel). See also par. 4 of the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation.

Sorry, I had the recollection that some people got it posthumously... Anyhow, I nominated MJ a while ago and don't regret it.
