i dont even know who that is
first!!!
I agree!
What a shame. I hope they didn't leave him out because he was on the drugs.
AGREED!
b/c no one remembers him??
that was awful. cant believe they missd him
was up wit at!
he wasnt that great
that sucks!
thats jacked up
ODER NICHT!
This is really sad. Surely he was a card-carrying member?
HOLY FUCK BALLS…. that's RIGHT! Shit that is COLD!!!
YEAH
23
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…
I totally noticed. Thats is come BULLSHIT. I can't believe they didn't include him.
That's weird I wonder why the left him out?
thats true,.
im wondering the same
Why Heath?
did he die after the cut off date?
I think it's just former nominees and winners of Oscars
I thought the EXACT same thing!!! I think thats horrible and I hope somehow they will rectify it….is that even possible now?? An after thought? SHAME SHAME to the Academy…boo hisssss!!
I know I said the same thing!!!That is not right.
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.)
…?
yep, that's upper class america for you. In his heyday brad renfro had just as much talent as any of those suckers there tonight. shame.
first
please god let it be me
Oh shit, you're right. Damn, that's just wrong. I loved him in Ghost World. I feel so sorry for this guy. Its like he's always being overshadowed… unfair
awe.
thats bad perez
i know!! that's just terrible that they would do that and forget about him and his work…
1st sad.
Yeah I noticed that too!
he dies AFTER the oscars cut off for the tributes.
dude cuz he only made like ONE famous movie
Who cares… GO JAVIER!!!
first!!
….and very true…he was snubbed
ummm weiner… it's a tribute to previous OSCAR winners….. duh
first
Was Renfro ever nominated or awarded an OSCAR?????
who cares
Thats so fucked up of the Academy!!!!
YEAH REALLY WTF!!!!!I KNEW HIM AND WHATEVER HAPPND TO HIM AND HIS PERSONAL LIFE IS NOT IMPORTANT,IF SOMETHING, HE WAS IS A DAMN FINE ACTOR WHO LOVED HIST CRAFT AND HIS JOB,THE ACADEMY SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!!
He died?
He died?
I thought the same snub! it has to have been an "exec" decision due to drugs…shame. I'm sure if Owen 'succeeded' he would have been included!
OMG I KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS UP WITH THAT!!! I SAW APT. PUPIL HE WAS F*ED UP IN THAT!! BUT IT WAS GOOD!!!
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.
such a sad tragedy hey atleast you remembered him! Rest in peace
it showed a certain range of dates.
it went until january 31st, 2008.
didn't he die after that??
very shitty
Sorry to say but no one knows him. RIP to him
Because this is for 2007– he'll get the slideshow nod next year.
thats sad.
He didn't die last year.
This picture is so creepy
That was awful…he was an actor after all
he wasnt that famous, not oscar worthy to bring up during the ceremony
my husband i and just commented on that! that WAS foul!
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.
Jut checked and Brad died a week b4 Heath.. both in Mid- January….so that is definitely messed up.
ouch, snubbed. they only showed old men and heath.
i thought the same thing
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….
I know! I was screaming at the television! What a dis-respect! The academy owes his family a public apology!
hh
21st!
sad
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.
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.
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
RIP Brad
FIRST!!!!
Noticed that, too — maybe he was not a member of the Academy?
That's the first thing I noticed when it was over.
odd…
that is very sad……
that's kind of rude.
I noticed that as well. I wonder why…
I noticed that too! That was kinda odd.
FIRST BITCHESSS
what about heath?!?
They showed all the people up to Jan 31st.
Because he was barely a blip in Hollywood?
