Oscars intentionally left out Fawcett

[Kevin M.]

They said she was better known as a TV star, as opposed to master
thespian Michael Jackson.

Again: Jackson was nominated for an Oscar in 1973 for "Ben". Not a
hard call to make at all.

He performed the song at the ceremony, but since he did not write the song, he was not nominated.

You are exactly right, and shame on me for not looking that piece of
information up further. My argument for Mr. Jackson is withdrawn.

Listening to this week's "Le Show" and Harry Shearer mentioned they
also left out Henry Gibson. Hasn't it always been that if you are
dead, known, and connected to the world of movies, you get your name
in the In Memorium tribute montage?

But that would leave less time for singing and dancing, pointless
montages, and "enhancing" the acting awards by having other actors
tell us how wonderful the nominees are. Where are your priorities, man?

[Karla Robinson]

I believe the Academy limits the tribute montage to 30 names. Seems
arbitrary, but there it is.
