Why does the Oscars continually screw up the In Memoriam tribute up? No one wants to see dancers obstructing the views on those that died the past year. It's also not the time for a musical piece that includes lyrics. What's needed is a full screen showing those that we lost with some background music that doesn't dominate those that are being honored.
I didn't see Pete Kozachik's name here. He was the cinematographer for the Nightmare Before Christmas and he died just a month before the film celebrated its 30th anniversary.
Because the current Academy Awards show production team is a Hollywoke cesspool filled with self serving weirdos who don't give a crap about honoring those in the industry who have died.
Were they actually singing? Couldn’t hear that thankfully. They had some big names on the name board that no one could read unless they pause at just the right time.
In a standardized sense, your prioritized description is correct, but times change again. Your view also reminds me of what Oscar viewers experienced when the John Wayne era's influence ended in 1979. The world's cultural balances through social media outlets are as outstanding as ever. Such mixes then take what we assume is the correct balance of a subject and place intermittent cultural outlays that change the concluded perspective. Western influences that lead to a beginning and an end can no longer participate in a finality. Indian and Korean films have become a part of that viewership. These are fine examples. No Sir! Global audiences are interested, though I have made the mistake of not making my estimate go far enough. Bob Dylan once said, 'The Times They are a Changing.'
Nah we've had poor in memoriams the last couple of years. The upbeat song from one year, another where they spent less than a second on lesser known creatives as well as excluding a few people. The interpretive dance was horrendous, but take that away and this would have been tolerable.
I thought the memorial segment was terrible this year. The dancers in front of the screen was in poor taste and distracting. The camera was so far from the screen, that I could not see those memorialized.
The In Memoriam segment should be centered on those whose contributions to entertainment and the business there of should be celebrated and remembered. We don’t need an avant garde display or highly choreographed performance THAT TOOK AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE YOU’RE REMEMBERING! How many snubs do you think were done because it didn’t fit the “moment” these people were trying to do to pump their artistic prowess up while crapping on the memory of the people who made us feel and lightened up our lives who we’ll never see again except in the work they left behind. To the Academy, for the love of the people you want your program to be the biggest thing on TV, please give us a subdued and respectful segment of remembrance where the people who you are honoring be present overall and leave the performances to any other part of the show. Thank you, rant over.
People applaud as they've done in the past so they wanted to avoid that that's why they had something else going on in the memorial so it wasn't silent. Ta-da!
Learn ballet, and understand its meaning. Go to ballet, and understand the musical direction. This year's memorandum is the best I've seen in the last 60 years. wow!
This year's In Memoriam was terrible. They show a few photos and names, but end with a huge batch of names slapped up on the screen for the briefest of moments. Impossibly NOT honoring any of those included at the end! BAFTA did it MUCH better!!!
I went and stood in front my television set and still couldn't see. By the time it got to poor Al Pacino completely botching the best picture I was sick to my stomach
The tribute video needs to be posted full screen so we can watch it as it should have been broadcast. Two words to the producer of how this was on the Oscar show, " You're Fired".
They have a tribute for Lee Sun Kyun at 3:24. His death is so unexpected, just January last year I was watching his drama with my favorite Korean actress expecting to see him at the year end awards show of the station that aired his kdrama. No one would expect that he would be dead before the end of that year. RIP Lee Sun Kyun. 😭
I never wish this,but in Memorium is always a dignified tribute . Silence is loud enough. Please,no more ballets,singing,just show their names in bold letters and let us remember.
We don't want silent singers and interpretive dancers. We want each person to be shown -alone - long enough to see their face and read their name. It's not brain surgery.
Great moment to remember Ignacio López Tarzo, a great Mexican film and theater actor, he starred in "Macario" in the first Mexican film nominated in 1961 for Best Foreign Film.
This piece was over produced - just too busy. Oscars just spend a few moments dealing w loss. The strings w wonderful photos of the persons and their names would be tasteful and respectful
The first minute was pretty good. It is after that, that it starts to go off the rails. What we aren't getting to see or appreciate here is that this is just the center stage. Off to the side there were 2 other giant screens.

@@martinplatts6922 Ballet is one thing - but this is about something else: remembering and honoring filmmakers who are no longer with us. Why should the dancers be bigger in the picture than the deceased?
Chuck, please explain how ballet, musicality, and somewhat original thought can be so. In fairness to you, here is an abstract example of my view. Van Gogh's 1888 The Pink Orchard, while art became a celebratory inclusion through ballet sequence in Paris's high society, then brushed aside for many years by critics before an ensemble of artists and composers gave the merit to Van Gogh's recognition to the orchard's significance to existence despite the initialization opting for a clouded vision.
Couldn't agree more. I couldn't help but notice the amount of non entities involved - sales agent, marketing consultant, manager, distribution executive and the like. While I'm not belittling thier work behind the scenes, one has to ask - who are these people?
@@bradwilliams1691 Just because someone doesn't have their name in lights, it doesn't make them a "non entity". Fame is shallow and fleeting so don't think famous people are more important than anyone else. For shame.
I couldn’t agree more with these comments. There is already so much to take in with looking at the names, and the faces of those who’ve passed. Stop putting singers and dancers in front of it!
Couldn't the light only be sprinkled on the deceased in these few minutes? No need for dance, loud music, no big solutions ... These few minutes should be the last time their big moment, their light. ✨✨
Rest in Peace to all people who have died and have gotten the inner peace they deserved after battling depression, anxiety, and panic attacks caused by all the violence in this world.
At this point I think we can safely say the only reason the Academy bothers putting on an In Memoriam segment at all is because they feel obliged to make some token effort.
That was the WORST memorium I have EVER seen. The camera was focused on the musicians and not paying tribute to the deceased. SHAME ON YOU THE OSCARS!!!!!!

What did he actually do that he became a hero? The only thing he ever did was... collection donations... to fight corruption. Doesn't it already sound suspicious? And when he called people for riot, young people, young people might get hurt in all that, did he actually care about well-being of his people? And do heroes actually make fake stories about so-called "President's Palace" with all the things the kings would likely have, when in reality the building was far from being finished? That's your hero?
Matthew Perry, beautiful angel, I still miss you so so so much baby🤍. This memorian was so bad, you could barely read the names and why did the camera always drift away from the screen? Also why did they use this photo of Matthew Perry? To be honest, I found using this photo disrespectful. This photo of him is from one of the darkest times in his life. This photo is from when he was in the movie "Fools rush in", when filming that movie Matthew was going through a rabbit hole to 55 vicodin pills a day. I know Matthew struggled a lot in his life and he was never perfectly healthy, but still there are thousands of photos out there of him where looks much more healthy that they could have used. Unfortunatly I don't know many others they paid tribute to, so I can't really tell if they disrespected others as well with bad photos, but I sure hope they did not.
This is ALWAYS the absolute worst part of the ceremony. Nobody-NOBODY-wants to see anything other than the video of those memorialized. No dancers, no singers, no musicians. Play some simple pre-recorded instrumental music and SHOW THE VIDEO. I do not understand why they always have to make it about something other than the memorialization of those who have passed. FFS!
There was the 2012 Oscars In Memoriam that had Esperanza Spalding singing “What a Wonderful World” but still kept the segment on the screen the entire time and allowed focus on those that passed away in 2011 and early 2012. So an In Memoriam segment with a singer performing a song in the background can be done well.
If so, why do many countries worldwide use ballet on remembrance day to honor the dead? The ballet issue is profound and artistic, with full merit to the team who dared to plan and execute such rawness. Further, we all know how Social media made life, in many cases, uncertain and chaotic for everyone, with barriers breaking down. In 2024, in Oscar's memorandum, the director attempted to bring this chaos to full view. Integrating abstract incidences through scenic movement, light, and shade encompasses an imbalance in our thought processes. It's like walking through a maze to discover the Titanic rebuilt before it sank. Van Gogh's artistry perfectly illustrates attacking our sensibilities in this way. The director's ideal did not accomplish everything, but practice will. I'm just mystified why someone has not yet used the space station for a memorandum. It is the perfect abstract from past, present, and future as it flies around the globe. Maybe next year.
Man to put Andrea and his son to perform is one thing; they’d be great to hear as a separate performance for something like this, but adding in the dancers put BEFORE a memorial of all those that passed?! My gosh people, will the Oscars NEVER learn😓

This makes me reconsider my career choice as an actor. I don’t want my life’s work reduced to two seconds on a screen obscured by a dancer wafting her dress.
Good question for the ages you ask here. Is ballet dancing? Modern dance started in the 20th century as a reaction to ballet, which was more restrictive. It sought more freedom in the techniques, for instance, using gravity and connecting with the floor, not just staying on their feet. The moves are weighted while ballet floats. Ballet is the foundation for all styles of dance! It may seem unbelievable that learning ballet can be helpful for a hip-hop or tap dancer, but the skill and technique acquired during ballet class are beneficial for all dance styles! Ballet also formulates a humanity expressionism through grace and movement. The ballet dancer puts all three expressions together while we mortals cry, laugh, or sing.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to be accepted into that ballet troupe? The years of work, dedication, and skill factors just to get a chance. The choreography was superb.
@@martinplatts6922 Nobody is criticizing the skill of the dancers. They don't belong. They feel like an afterthought while they should be the highlight on their own at a different time. This is an insult to them as well as the people in the In Memorium.
If they want it to be about more than respectfully remembering those who have passed, they should change the name of it. What happened to just instrumental music or a memorable quote the deceased delivered and a quiet 5-minute video? Do better Oscars.
Julian Sands RIP ❤🇨🇦 In that scene George (Julian) is hitting on Lucy (Helena) in front of her fiance Cecil and she has to pretend she's not interested so she says "go play tennis with Freddie" (her brother) ... One of my Top 3 movies

Maybe he was in the names the all added bunched up at the end which was very disrespectful ngl, he and all of those names deserved their big moments as well 🥺💔
They aren't good at thinking of these things. Any movie fan would know both died this year. How about one then the other or a combo clip from Rocky 1-4? The Carl Weather part was actually great and appropriate. But they missed Young, Treat Williams, Tom Sizemore...
Same 😭💔 I hate they used this photo of him. This photo is from when he was in the movie Fools rush in. During that time he was going through a rabbit hole to 55 vicodin pills a day.

Nah- they didn't put her in last year on the televised version. Despite being a musician and notable personality - even if she helped as a consultant to the hit film "Elvis" before her untimely passing, this particular Academy tends to honor actors / actresses or more prominent producers in The In Memoriam Section.
What a shame not to have displayed Akira Toriyama 🐉🕊️ this man was as important as Koby Bryant in 2020..... Akira worked in cinema comics and cartoons while Koby was a basketball player I doesn't take away Koby's talent 🏀💜💛 but it's very incomprehensible
I would assume that it's because he just passed away recently, and the presentation was already done weeks before the show, but knowing hollywood they can put him last minute but they will choose not to.
Thanks to whoever 'geniuses' that 'brainstormed' how to do the In Memoriam this year, my stupid brain had a hard time concentrating on the actual great people we lost, not only because of the dancers, but also just by having to guess where the next person were shown. Side screens? One of the five split screens? I mean, where? *sighs* You could have done SO much better. As so many have already asked: can we please get the simplicity back? Loved the Bocelli's though, you at least did more than well having Andrea and Matteo singing that amazing song.

Frances Sternhagen was a tiny blip in that last shot of those names all put together so quickly...as an afterthought. That In Memoriam was terrible!! 😔 💜🕊️💜🕊️💜🕊️💜🕊️💜🕊️💜
Yes that was nice but where I live they now charge for TCM I wish I took more advantage of those movies when they were free, like on the Late Night Movie or Late Late Late Night Movie 😂 Just saying 😁.
I love that that have this memoriam to pay tribute to the people involved in the film process, but so disappointed that they rushed through it and didn't have the best sound system since we couldn't hear any singing. I understand that they cant post everyone but actors are front and center, so please why do they not pay more attention to the list so they don't miss people, Lance Reddick, Burt Young, Treat Williams, Tom Sizemore.
At 2:30, they make reference to Osvaldo Desideri, but the image is of Ferdinando Scarfiotti, whom he shared the Oscar with for The Last Emperor’s Art Direction. I mean, that’s the wrong person, especially since he died three decades ago. At least Ferdinando has appeared in the In Memoriam now in two separate years! 😂
Maybe he was in the names the all added bunched up at the end which was very disrespectful ngl, he and all of those names deserved their big moments as well 🥺💔
I think this years Emmys did it much more better. If you wanna pay attention to this people than it's much better to make everything around as small as possible
If they followed the TCM 100 film tribute, 9 minutes of original scores from films we all know, all who passed are noted, with nothing else to distract from the tribute, would be so easy to put together. I do not know one negative comment about that classic TCM presentation. The fact they give screen time to faceless dancers and not the talented people this portion of Oscar's presentation we all want to see, is criminal.
Why does the Oscars continually screw up the In Memoriam tribute up? No one wants to see dancers obstructing the views on those that died the past year.

So we get backstage folks, utterly unheard of, and character actors like Burt Young and Treat Williams are in a small-print afterthought?
Couldn't agree more. I couldn't help but notice the amount of non entities involved - sales agent, marketing consultant, manager, distribution executive and the like. While I'm not belittling thier work behind the scenes, one has to ask - who are these people?
I spotted David McCallum. Shocking about him, Treat Williams and Burt Young.
Exactly! Lance Reddick and Suzanne Somers as foot notes is ridiculous
@@bradwilliams1691 Just because someone doesn't have their name in lights, it doesn't make them a "non entity". Fame is shallow and fleeting so don't think famous people are more important than anyone else. For shame.
And Tom Smothers?
Are we supposed to be hearing them sing?
Not anymore…
That's what I was wondering too
yeah, they muted it
This version replaces all the audio. Bocelli's YT channel has the song: ua-cam.com/video/fIU9HZtVIP8/v-deo.html
Que mal. Crei q era mi tv
I couldn’t agree more with these comments. There is already so much to take in with looking at the names, and the faces of those who’ve passed. Stop putting singers and dancers in front of it!
Couldn't the light only be sprinkled on the deceased in these few minutes? No need for dance, loud music, no big solutions ... These few minutes should be the last time their big moment, their light. ✨✨
Rest in Peace to all people who have died and have gotten the inner peace they deserved after battling depression, anxiety, and panic attacks caused by all the violence in this world.
At this point I think we can safely say the only reason the Academy bothers putting on an In Memoriam segment at all is because they feel obliged to make some token effort.
That was the WORST memorium I have EVER seen. The camera was focused on the musicians and not paying tribute to the deceased. SHAME ON YOU THE OSCARS!!!!!!
In a standardized sense, your prioritized description is correct, but times change again. Your view also reminds me of what Oscar viewers experienced when the John Wayne era's influence ended in 1979. The world's cultural balances through social media outlets are as outstanding as ever. Such mixes then take what we assume is the correct balance of a subject and place intermittent cultural outlays that change the concluded perspective. Western influences that lead to a beginning and an end can no longer participate in a finality. Indian and Korean films have become a part of that viewership. These are fine examples. No Sir! Global audiences are interested, though I have made the mistake of not making my estimate go far enough. Bob Dylan once said, 'The Times They are a Changing.'
Thank you for Alexey at the beginning💔
We will not forget you hero
What your "hero" did besides sitting in prison and empty speeches? pitiful likeness of opposition
@@LanaShaposhnyk What did Jesus do when he was imprisoned?
What did he actually do that he became a hero? The only thing he ever did was... collection donations... to fight corruption. Doesn't it already sound suspicious? And when he called people for riot, young people, young people might get hurt in all that, did he actually care about well-being of his people? And do heroes actually make fake stories about so-called "President's Palace" with all the things the kings would likely have, when in reality the building was far from being finished? That's your hero?
@@LanaShaposhnykchannel created 5 months ago, it's a robot, don't talk to her
Matthew Perry, beautiful angel, I still miss you so so so much baby🤍.
This memorian was so bad, you could barely read the names and why did the camera always drift away from the screen? Also why did they use this photo of Matthew Perry? To be honest, I found using this photo disrespectful. This photo of him is from one of the darkest times in his life. This photo is from when he was in the movie "Fools rush in", when filming that movie Matthew was going through a rabbit hole to 55 vicodin pills a day. I know Matthew struggled a lot in his life and he was never perfectly healthy, but still there are thousands of photos out there of him where looks much more healthy that they could have used. Unfortunatly I don't know many others they paid tribute to, so I can't really tell if they disrespected others as well with bad photos, but I sure hope they did not.
This is ALWAYS the absolute worst part of the ceremony.
Nobody-NOBODY-wants to see anything other than the video of those memorialized. No dancers, no singers, no musicians.
Play some simple pre-recorded instrumental music and SHOW THE VIDEO.
I do not understand why they always have to make it about something other than the memorialization of those who have passed.
FFS!
this was just the center stage. there were 2 screens off to the side that you can't see on the televised version that were just the video alone.
God forbid anyone dies in your family. Do you even understand memorandum.
There was the 2012 Oscars In Memoriam that had Esperanza Spalding singing “What a Wonderful World” but still kept the segment on the screen the entire time and allowed focus on those that passed away in 2011 and early 2012. So an In Memoriam segment with a singer performing a song in the background can be done well.
No one, self absorbed much?
Wow, stupidly unappreciative can you be.
Thank you Matthew Perry for making us laugh and always getting a smile out of our faces, you healed a heart that you didn’t break 🥺♥️
Whoever decided this was a good idea needs to be in the In Memoriam section of next year's Oscars.
If so, why do many countries worldwide use ballet on remembrance day to honor the dead? The ballet issue is profound and artistic, with full merit to the team who dared to plan and execute such rawness. Further, we all know how Social media made life, in many cases, uncertain and chaotic for everyone, with barriers breaking down. In 2024, in Oscar's memorandum, the director attempted to bring this chaos to full view. Integrating abstract incidences through scenic movement, light, and shade encompasses an imbalance in our thought processes. It's like walking through a maze to discover the Titanic rebuilt before it sank. Van Gogh's artistry perfectly illustrates attacking our sensibilities in this way. The director's ideal did not accomplish everything, but practice will. I'm just mystified why someone has not yet used the space station for a memorandum. It is the perfect abstract from past, present, and future as it flies around the globe. Maybe next year.
How do you not have segments for Norman Leer and Suzanne Somers?!
They were television not film
@@Joseph_Greco -Suzanne had parts in American Graffiti, Magnum Force and Bullitt! I am sure there are others.
What's with the long ass camera shots??
For some reason, they thought it was more important to show the dancers than honor those who passed.
And the guys with the microphones,were they singing? I could not hear any singing. It was weird
Man to put Andrea and his son to perform is one thing; they’d be great to hear as a separate performance for something like this, but adding in the dancers put BEFORE a memorial of all those that passed?! My gosh people, will the Oscars NEVER learn😓
Rest in peace to all those who have died. Love and miss you Matthew Perry xx
Disappointed to see David Soul was not mentioned in the Memoriam
Yes...but they HAD to make it political at the beginning with the glorification of a nazi.
Wasn't he more TV...or did he have a film career as well. I was a big Starsky and Hutch fan, but didn't know him beyond that.
@@karenl.rodewald9815he did, he was in a movie with Clint Eastwood. Anyway, IMHO It makes no difference if he had a movie career or not, I do think he should have been remembered and honoured, too🌹😢R.I.P.🌹🌹🌹

How can you have a memoriam and NOT show the people in the memoriam?

They always leave out really important actors!!!
Some of the names can only be read with binoculars
Actually, even an ant couldn't read those tributes.
This makes me reconsider my career choice as an actor. I don’t want my life’s work reduced to two seconds on a screen obscured by a dancer wafting her dress.
Алексей, наш герой❤ can't stop crying
The Academy Awards must consider Akira Toriyama in it list "In Memoriam". He was a japanese cartoonist.
an icon of anime and the reason why there's many manga and anime fans
Amul even omitted him
So many actors have left us. RIP to all of them!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
How about showing the video not that terrible dancing?!?!
Good question for the ages you ask here. Is ballet dancing? Modern dance started in the 20th century as a reaction to ballet, which was more restrictive. It sought more freedom in the techniques, for instance, using gravity and connecting with the floor, not just staying on their feet. The moves are weighted while ballet floats.
Ballet is the foundation for all styles of dance! It may seem unbelievable that learning ballet can be helpful for a hip-hop or tap dancer, but the skill and technique acquired during ballet class are beneficial for all dance styles! Ballet also formulates a humanity expressionism through grace and movement. The ballet dancer puts all three expressions together while we mortals cry, laugh, or sing.
The dancing isn't terrible, let's not drag the dancers who were just paid to do this, but definitely a weird choice on behqlf of the Oscars
Stop blaming dancers for their art. You're terribly naive to the art of dancing called ballet.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to be accepted into that ballet troupe? The years of work, dedication, and skill factors just to get a chance. The choreography was superb.
@@martinplatts6922 Nobody is criticizing the skill of the dancers. They don't belong. They feel like an afterthought while they should be the highlight on their own at a different time. This is an insult to them as well as the people in the In Memorium.
Mathew's death hit me the most. RIP king of sarcasm 😢
Still hurts. Rest in peace Matthew xx
Matthew*
💔 LEE SUN-KYUN 🙏 May your family be blessed and your justice be thorough.
That show is probably the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen.
No Tom Sizemore, no Jim Brown, No Kirstie Alley, No Burt Young…
and no Coco Lee.. She was a singer performing at the Oscar 2000, the year in which "Crouching Tiger", Hidden Dragon was nominated for multiple awards.
But Navalny front and center...
Thanks for Alexey Navalny💔With love from Russia
If they want it to be about more than respectfully remembering those who have passed, they should change the name of it. What happened to just instrumental music or a memorable quote the deceased delivered and a quiet 5-minute video? Do better Oscars.
Julian Sands RIP ❤🇨🇦
In that scene George (Julian) is hitting on Lucy (Helena) in front of her fiance Cecil and she has to pretend she's not interested so she says "go play tennis with Freddie" (her brother) ... One of my Top 3 movies
Room with view - 1985
Julian Sands 🤍🙏
Where was Treat Williams??! Sad he was snubbed and wasn’t mentioned. Unless I missed it from all the distractions…
I saw him in the group of names. You will have to pause the video and look really close at the screen.
You didn't see him cause he wasn't there.
@@cherylmilke313 I’m sorry. I meant where was he in the memoriam?
I am so pleased to see a tribute to Alex Nivalny, a very brave man.
Is he an actor?
@@DeathFORcameOyes. Most politicians act as if they care about the common good to further their selective interests. They're literally bad actors.

No Burt Young? At least Carl Weathers made the cut from the Rockyverse
He was in the circle at the end. Just his name among dozens of other names. If ypu pause the video you can read them.
I think he still deserved to be up there a little more prominently than the agents and attorneys.
Maybe he was in the names the all added bunched up at the end which was very disrespectful ngl, he and all of those names deserved their big moments as well 🥺💔
They aren't good at thinking of these things. Any movie fan would know both died this year. How about one then the other or a combo clip from Rocky 1-4? The Carl Weather part was actually great and appropriate. But they missed Young, Treat Williams, Tom Sizemore...

What a shame and so disrespectful to those we lost this year. Every year the memorial gets worse. The Academy should be ashamed. TCM does it best
Lisa Marie Presley died in January of last year. I don't see her name up there.
I think I remember her being in it last year but I'm not sure.
Nah- they didn't put her in last year on the televised version. Despite being a musician and notable personality - even if she helped as a consultant to the hit film "Elvis" before her untimely passing, this particular Academy tends to honor actors / actresses or more prominent producers in The In Memoriam Section.
She was featured at last years Oscars. They do the stars that passed in January and February.
RIP Aleksey 😢 forever in our hearts ❤
RIP David Soul
Was he mentioned? I didn't see him.
@@trex19681unless I missed him, he was not mentioned at all..and that's so disrespectful😢😢😢💔

I would assume that it's because he just passed away recently, and the presentation was already done weeks before the show, but knowing hollywood they can put him last minute but they will choose not to.

Bocelli and his son...excellent voices.....
Thanks to whoever 'geniuses' that 'brainstormed' how to do the In Memoriam this year, my stupid brain had a hard time concentrating on the actual great people we lost, not only because of the dancers, but also just by having to guess where the next person were shown. Side screens? One of the five split screens? I mean, where? *sighs* You could have done SO much better. As so many have already asked: can we please get the simplicity back?
Loved the Bocelli's though, you at least did more than well having Andrea and Matteo singing that amazing song.

The Oscars could learn a few things from Turner Classic Movies with their annual "TCM Remembers" tribute in December of each year.
Yes that was nice but where I live they now charge for TCM I wish I took more advantage of those movies when they were free, like on the Late Night Movie or Late Late Late Night Movie 😂 Just saying 😁.
I love that that have this memoriam to pay tribute to the people involved in the film process, but so disappointed that they rushed through it and didn't have the best sound system since we couldn't hear any singing. I understand that they cant post everyone but actors are front and center, so please why do they not pay more attention to the list so they don't miss people, Lance Reddick, Burt Young, Treat Williams, Tom Sizemore.
What piece of music did ABC use to dub the original Con te partiro in this video?
Excellent. Let's get Andre Bocelli... and not hear a SINGLE NOTE HE SINGS!
It is hard to see the names of those that are featured in the in memoriam segment. What is with the dancers?
A pie in the face to whoever dreamed up this debacle
eggs on their face for sure.

If they followed the TCM 100 film tribute, 9 minutes of original scores from films we all know, all who passed are noted, with nothing else to distract from the tribute, would be so easy to put together. I do not know one negative comment about that classic TCM presentation. The fact they give screen time to faceless dancers and not the talented people this portion of Oscar's presentation we all want to see, is criminal.
