      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…

    18. loydexmas says – reply to this


      18

      I totally noticed. Thats is come BULLSHIT. I can't believe they didn't include him.

      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.

      That was awful…he was an actor after all

    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


      67

      i thought the same thing

    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….

    69. Drea says – reply to this


      69

      I know! I was screaming at the television! What a dis-respect! The academy owes his family a public apology!

      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

    87. agentquill says – reply to this


      87

    88. kris says – reply to this


      88

      i guess they didnt want to honor a drug addict. but hey what do you expect they invited miley cryus.

    89. Alexis says – reply to this


      89

      Very disrespectful. I was really surprised they didn't mention him, considering he died like a week or two before Heath Ledger. Sad because he was actually pretty talented. I bet his family and friends are really offended.

    90. psychology says – reply to this


      90

      He was a child actor with serious problems….and he took his own life. I can't name one movie this kid was in! Sorry

    91. lechemimono says – reply to this

    98. Karen says – reply to this


      98
