Who said to him that Miss Misery was going to get nominated for an Oscar? He didn't know it was going to; he didn't know he was going to be put into that position.
f'ing oscars. he din't want to be there but they told him if he didn't show they would just have someone else perform HIS song. people shouldn't be forced to be in the spotlight if they don't want to be there.

if he really didn't want spotlight time, he wouldn't have made a song for a movie, y'know? like, decide what you want dude. Gotta know that attention of some kind would be coming
No...lots of the songs on teh soundtrack were already from Elliot Smith's back catalogue. But Miss MIssery definitly was written for Gus Van Sant's Good Will Hunting.
His Spirit, his voice are gone. But he left us a piece of heaven
