    When exactly did he die? If it was in February, he wouldn't be included because the cut off of the "year" is January 31st. In which case, he'd be included next year…

    But I don't know when exactly he died…

    omg, I totally forgot about Renfro! Seriously, what WAS up with that?

    (And on an unrelated note, what's up with the "wrap it up" music? Is it me, or is it more annoying than ever this year? I mean, I know it's necessary but give me a break… it's more annoying than the rambling speeches.)

    It said at the bottom of the screen that they were recognizing those who had died in 2007 up to Jan 31 2008—Renfro died after that. Duh.

  62. helen mirren says – reply to this
    62

    he wasnt that famous, not oscar worthy to bring up during the ceremony

  63. k says – reply to this
    63

    my husband i and just commented on that! that WAS foul!

  64. JD says – reply to this
    64

    Technically, Heath should not have been included in the list until NEXT year because he passed away in 2008. Hopefully they'll pay tribute to Brad next year. Heath was probably included because he was such a high profile actor and was nominated in the past.

  65. shea says – reply to this
    65

    Jut checked and Brad died a week b4 Heath.. both in Mid- January….so that is definitely messed up.

  66. bunny says – reply to this
    66

    ouch, snubbed. they only showed old men and heath.

  67. bec says – reply to this

  68. TMoney says – reply to this
    68

    I was thinking that too! But, then someone mentioned to me that possibly only Oscar nominees or winners were mentioned. I hope that's the case, because if not, Hollywood will be put in perspective….

    wasnt it just for past oscar winners? altho ledger was an amazing actor and fit in. renfro doesnt really… plus i have no clue who he is.

  74. Maxine says – reply to this
    74

    Brad must have died after the Memorial "cut off date” of Jan 31st? Heath died on Jan 22nd I believe, is why he was added.

  75. Lauren says – reply to this
    75

    they also left out the guy who was in jaws…..

    and if they didnt I didnt see him…

    but ya they out heath last..and DEFFINETLY didnt acknowledge Brad
