The sequence honoring those who’ve died is always a headache, but this year could be particularly difficult The annual I See Dead People montage at the Academy Awards, more properly known as the In Memoriam sequence, always causes emmy 2011 nominations problems for the Academy and the show s producers. It always leads to second-guessing and outrage. It always involves tough decisions.
Will you appear to be too frantically chasing young viewers if you include Cory Monteith, who became a star on TV but also made a couple of movies near the end of his life? You have to leave out more than two-thirds of the 100-plus Academy members who have died since the last Oscars show but which ones?
How about the 27 deceased Oscar nominees and winners? If you include all of them in a sequence that normally includes about 30 people, how will you have time for all the other people who deserve inclusion?
The decisions are particularly tough because the list of notable figures who have died since the last Oscar show includes two past presidents of the Academy, a producer who is tied for the most Best Picture wins of all time, an actor who holds the record with eight Best Actor nominations without a win, and the man whose name is on the theater in which the Oscars are held.
It is a beloved segment, but I would much prefer we didn t do it, the Academy s longtime (and now retired) executive director Bruce Davis told me years ago. When you sit down to do the list, the last 15 or 20 cuts you make are people with substantial careers.
And that doesn t include people not listed on the Academy members page, including critic Roger Ebert, actor Paul Walker, actor/comic Sid Caesar, actresses emmy 2011 nominations Joan Fontaine and Deanna emmy 2011 nominations Durbin and novelist Tom Clancy.
Here, from the Academy website , is the list from which this year s memoriam will likely be drawn, with Board of Governors service and Oscar nominations indicated. Oscar wins are noted with an asterisk.
