To: [email protected] Well, I thought the biggest mistake in the telecast was not spending MORE time showing all the Best Picture one sheets. A single montage simply is not enough…but that’s just me.

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... -kuz.
