Another promising young talent who wasted his potential and his life in tragic involvement with drugs and misjudgement also died right before last year's Oscars. He was not mentioned in last year's montage. And he was not mentioned in this year's montage either. His name was Brad Renfro. Too bad Sir Ian McKellan wasn't at last night's Oscars to comment-- as he has in the past. Joe B in NOLA PS- I agree with all of you in regards the mishandling of this segment of the show. Joe

I was waiting to see the audience reaction and I don't recall they showed him. And he did pass away in '08 so he should have been included?

They spent so much time trying to feature the singer and zooming in and out on the screen that there were some names that you could not read. That is not a segment that they should be messing with and trying to make it fancy. Just focus on the screen and leave it alone.
