Indeed, the Academy's criteria limited the list to those who passed away by Jan 31 2008, hence the omission of the obviously worthy Roy Scheider. Ingmar Bergman WAS mentioned, but I will throw in another name from the past....who died with mere months to go before his 100th birthday...Bruce Bennett (aka Herman Brix), passed away Feb 24 2007
He even appeared in 3 films with Charles Lane! Yvonne de Carlo was in last year's tribute....I checked the tape we made.

I agree about the executives. That caught my eye. I wondered about that as well.

Did anyone else think there was a large "tilt" towards industry executives that were hardly household names, instead of artistic talents?
