Oscars 2010; Farrah Fawcett omitted from Oscar tribute 'In Memoriam'

09 March, 2010

During the 'In Memoriam' segment of Oscars 2010 a number of Hollywood's stars were remembered, including Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, Ed McMahon, Brittany Murphy and Ron Silver. But in this segment Farrah Fawcett was notably absent from tribute.

ON THE award night of Oscars 2010 or Academy Awards 2010 on Sunday at Kodak Theatre in LA the "In Memoriam" segment of the Oscars was telecast. During the "In Memoriam" segment a number of Hollywood's stars were remembered, including Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, Ed McMahon, Brittany Murphy and Ron Silver. But in this segment Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur were notably absent from the tribute. And it did not go unnoticed.

The former Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett died in June last year, at 62 after long battle with cancer. The segment "In Memoriam" opened with a portrait of Patrick Swayze but had not mention of Farrah Fawcett. Demi Moore presented the segment. Speaking before the ceremony, Academy executive director Bruce Davis said the memorial section always presented problems.

Farrah Fawcett was mostly known for her TV work, including in the movie The Burning Bed and the series Charlie's Angels, but had prominent roles in a number of feature films, including The Apostle with Robert Duvall, Dr. T and the Women with Richard Gere and Logan's Run. During her career she was nominated for Golden Globe award and Oscars.

Michael has been in eight feature films, besides he's DEAD, how the hell is it his fault that Farrah wasnt included, people can be so ignorant its unbelieveable. He was an actor although he was not primarily known for that because he was the worlds biggest entertainer. But you cant say he doesnt belong their as much as Farrah, The academy should have made the segment a bit longer cut a few speeches short. Blame the academy not MJ , give the man a break ,hasnt he suffered enough because of the media bloodsuckers and public haters when he was alive?.Geez. 1978 The Wiz 1986 Captain EO 1988 Moonwalker 1997 Ghosts 2002 Men in Black II 2004 Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls 2009 Michael Jackson's This Is It Michael Jackson's "This is it" film is the highest grossing documentary of all time making 260 million dollars surpassing michael moores farenheight 9/11 that made 222.6 million. so yes he does deserve to be there. RIP to them Both.
