Re: In Memoriam
The Academy posted a 100+ person slide show on their website that includes just about anyone you could gripe was left off the In Memoriam...

Re: In Memoriam
Chicago was Marty Richards' only film credit in the past 30 years. I'm sure he'll be in the Tonys In Memoriam; he was a far bigger presence there. (He was a very nice man, by the way -- we knew him from when Kathi did Grand Hotel)mlrg wrote:Martin Richards, who won best picture for Chicago, was also left out from the In Memorian Segment
Funny that Zadan and Meron (producers of the oscar telecast) were the executive producers of Chicago

Re: In Memoriam
He's one of the founders of Oscilloscope, an independent film company and distributor (credits include The Messenger and We Need to Talk About Kevin). I was surprised by his inclusion but his contribution to film is actually more significant than Aaliyah, Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston who were all included in past In Memoriams.MovieWes wrote:I don't understand Adam Yauch's inclusion. I know he was one of the big deaths of last year, but I would expect to see him during the Grammys 'In Memoriam' segment more than I would the Oscars. I only know him as one of the members of the Beastie Boys, not for whatever work he did in film.

Re: In Memoriam
Actually two more oversights come to mind.
Joyce Redman. Surely two Oscar nominations count for something, even if the where nearly half a century ago?
Oshima Nagisa. The last of the legendary film directors from the golden years of Japanese cinema.

I'll second Chris Marker and very pleased to see Erland Josephson remembered.anonymous1980 wrote:I love that Andrew Sarris and Chris Marker made the cut.
I think Andy Griffith was a terrible oversight and though she was only a minor performer, Susan Tyrell.

Re: In Memoriam
No. That's what you get when you grow up in Finland. I have seen the film Odd Couple, and I knew that there was a TV series, but I have never seen a single episode. I don't think I have ever heard of Quincy before.

Re: In Memoriam
I have never even heard of Klugman before. Is it possible that Klugman was an Academy member while Griffith was not?
