2008 Oscars: Question regarding the memorial tributes - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 01-27-2008, 09:30 PM

I remember last year when Anna Nicole died it was speculated whether she would be memorialized in the Oscar's memorial portion of the show last year. She wasn't. Normally when a star dies early in the year, do they wait til the following year to put them in the tribute or do they do it that year if there is time enough before the show? It was also talked abt here on the board whether she would even qualify since the movies she did were pretty much flops.

With Heath Ledger's passing, I would hate to see him NOT be memorialized during this year's telecast (if there is one).

Any info?

I think Anna wasn't memorialized because nobody ever really thought of her as an actress, all I remember her being in was one of the Naked Gun movies and then she did some b-movies. Heath more than likely will be memorialized because his movies were more "respected"

Heath closed the memorial segment at the SAG Awards tonight, so I'm sure he will be included at the Oscars as well.
