toochis,

as far as the older generation instructing the younger.... there is hardly a more visual and aural business/profession than film. one simply has to listen and watch a dvd... little reading can be involved, as well. so really, there is no excuse.

and i would hardly call the lot from HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL  "stars."

that is insulting to those that are and were.

I agree Jeff. But I do think that it is also up to the older generation to educate the younger one. I can't tell you how many people older than me who don't even know who William Powell or Peter Lorre was. It's ridiculous.

You saw that the stars of High School Musical were excited to get a glimpse of Meryl Streep. That made me hopeful.

Maybe there were a few claps, toochis; i should say that i didnt hear many.. but that's also the other thing... so many of these younger, new hollywood "stars"--and i used that term with tongue planted firmly in cheek-- do not even know who the great actors were before them who made hollywood truly sparkle. most of these flashes in the pan wont be remembered down the road; i guess some will be, though, thanks to the dusty DVD's that will be on store shelves or digital clips available for download.

I heard some claps for Charlton Heston. I know he had fans in the business. Not huge but most of the older actors didn't get huge applause.

that's right...he was memorialized last year.... technically, incorrect.... but i guess the academy wanted to remind everyone while his passing was still fresh... a year later, it would have not have received the same audience response that it did at last year's oscars-

the other thing i noticed... not ONE clap could be heard when they showed charlton heston.

i was a bit surprised at that, needless to say.

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.
