Oscars
Watched the Oscars Sunday night. The In Memoriam did not include everybody. The ones I noticed were TAGS people: Rance Howard, Don Rickles and Harry Dean Stanton - proprietor in "Howard's New Life". Another actor Wes Studi was talking about war films and that he had been in the military. No he never was on TAGS, but his father-in-law was Jack Albertson who played Bradford Taylor. Mr. Albertson's daughter Maura Dhu Studi is married to Wes Studi. Margaret Floyd: "I'm going to Nashville." Margaret: I already live in Nashville. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

More Oscars
My question about Oscars was a little tricky when I said I knew of 4 Oscars. That was true, just that 3 of them belonged to Jack Nicholson and 1 to George Kennedy. Then Victor came up with Jack Albertson and Ron Howard. So now we've got a total of 6 Oscars by 4 actors. Have we missed any? dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Oscars
We got the answer to the 4 Oscar winners who appeared on TAGS (Jack Nicholson, Jack Albertson, George Kennedy, and Ron Howard), but all 4 of these people were nominated for an Oscar and won the Oscar after they appeared on TAGS. Can anyone tell me the name of the actor or actress who appeared on TAGS who had been nominated for an Oscar before they appeared on TAGS?Small hint, this person had been nominated for an Oscar 23 years prior to appearing on TAGS. Orville Hendricks - The World Famous Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man. I was never nominated for an Oscar. There is no category for Best Chicken Coop Casanova. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Oscars
This may have been discussed before but, being old, I don't remember it. How many folks who appeared on TAGS have won Academy Awards in their careers? I can think of 4 Oscars won by TAGS alumni. Anybody think of any more? dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: the Oscars
I, too, was disappointed with this year's Academy Awards show, in that the producers decided to 'go after' the younger crowd, thus bringing in a popular (it is believed) comic to host the show. And the omission of several persons from the In Memoriam segment was a travesty, yet those omissions seem to happen every year. I was expecting much of what I heard, and immediately went to the Oscars website and left a comment about it. It is when we speak up for things that those in charge can make changes for the better of all. The Academy Awards have been the classy elegant awards show over its duration, something I've seen true in the times I've watched it over the past 45 years. Even when Bob Hope hosted, though his comments were often double entendres, it was still classy and elegant. What is sad is the presumed preference for off color, grade school, even bathroom humor thus the promoting such comedy as entertaining. Entertainment can be clean to be enjoyable. It would seem that the producers brought in numerous A list award winners, including Barbra to sing, in order to compensate for the host's rather inane comments. Those producers must remember several things: the academy is mostly older folks not young people, excessive focus on apparel demeans the elegance of the show, young people can find value in something that is different if given the opportunity, and though 'family guy' has a large following it doesn't represent the majority of viewers. Last year's Grammy awards (a show typically off color) did honor Whitney, her sudden death being a tragedy in that recovery didn't help her, and her loved ones felt that grief more so as they wondered if they could have done more to save her. Perhaps she was a warning to those in that industry that life is short, treat it kindly or it will be gone. (Apparently addiction was a genetic factor for her so her ability to overcome it was difficult). The world has changed much, and entertainment is most reflective of it, 'art imitating life' or 'life imitating art'? This year as last movies were recognized that were based on actual persons or events, which is encouraging rather than movies about fluff. Ron Howard's upcoming movie 'Rush' should be an excellent one based upon the information he's released about it via his twitter account.

Central Daylight Time, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com writes: If you are speaking of actors on TAGS who appeared in any Oscar winning picture, there were dozens. I'm sure this topic could even explode if it were opened up to nominees who didn't win. Right off the top of my head I can think of one in particular: Buddy Ebsen, who appeared as Opie's hobo friend right about the time his Oscar-nominated role in Breakfast at Tiffany's was entertaining movie audiences.

RE: Omission of names at Oscars
I found a section on the Academy Awards web site that recognizes the artists that have died. It appears that the memoriam is updated and artists recognized between the dates Feb. 1st through Jan. 31st of the next year. So this would explain why some of the actors were there that had just died this year, and why Don Knotts and the others were not. I am already looking forward to, and yet dreading the reminder that he is gone, of Mr. Knotts career being acknowledged. Big ain't the word for it.

Omission of names at Oscars
Well, I'll buy the time constraint theory for leaving out Don Knotts in the memoriam segment. After all, where would Hollywood find any talented people at the last minute to pull off such a spectacular project? Wait, we're talking Hollywood film makers, so I ain't buying that either. As for the 2005 theory; when did Shelly Winters and Chris Penn die? 2006. And just who is Chris Penn? I know there's nothing that can be done since it's over, and maybe they'll have them in next year's show, but that's a long way off. Don deserved better. And that's all I got to say about that.

The Oscars and Our Deputy
The question was asked... Did I miss it? During the Academy Awards program I watched all the names of the fine talents that left us this past year, and I didn't see Dennis Weaver, Darren McGavin or Don Knotts. The website for the Oscars memorialized all actors and actresses who died in 2005. Our beloved deputy will be recognized next year.

Omission of names at Oscars
This is in respose to Andge in Bethlehem Ga. I think that because Don, Dennis, Darren died so recently that there wasn't time for them to be included in the tribute. It probably was put together some time ago because they have to have all the segments put together alloted for in the given time period. Now if it is ommitted next year rest assured there will be some very angry people.
