i agree with you, too, joe. brad renfro was a very good actor,
especially being SO much younger when he began his career. also
troubled and got himself in trouble, too. the academy's selective
memory is more than a little troubling.

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

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.

PS- I agree with all of you in regards the mishandling of this
segment of the show.

Did they even show Heath during the memorium segment? 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?

That segment really angered me especially since my mentor Nina Foch
was being honored.
Frustrating!

I thought I was the only one bothered by that! A major blunder.

All in all I thought it was a good show but what I did not like was
the segment where they honored the people who died in the last
year. 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.
