David, I think they said on the telecast that they were doing Feb. 1
2006 through Jan 31, 2006. So I guess they'll do Roy Scheider's memoriam
segment next year. I can't believe they'd snub him. FRANC

Subject: [MOPO] Oscar's most egregious omission...
Still too swamped to get into all of the debates -- but most of the
posts I've read thus far have pretty covered everything.
But I can wait no longer for someone to step forward to bring up what
was, in my view, a more egregious omission. While people go on about
Renfro or others left out from the Oscar "in memoriam" segment -- what
about Roy Scheider? The annual "Memoriam" segments traditionally
include all notable motion picture-related deaths right up to the
ceremony itself.
Frankly, if I was on the Academy's Board, I'd be just as, if not more
embarrassed trying to explain how Roy was overlooked. The man was
nominated for Best Actor (1979) and Supporting Actor (1971) in his
career. It shouldn't have been too hard to get last-minute digital
clips of his appearances in "Jaws," "The French Connection" and "All
That Jazz." I'm sure it was a mistake, but still quite egregious...
