[NEW LIST] Oscar Memoriam Snubs

ai...@freenet.carleton.ca (Corby Gilmore) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:25:22 UT

This will be a list that I will maintain of those film industry celebs

As noted in the article these are temproary reactor closings. The
timing is definitely bad.

Better the Two Corbys (Corbies, actually) than the Two Louis's !!!
(actually, more like the Two Ronnies than anything! lol!)
As for Corey Haim I highly doubt it, but you never know; if no more than
20 or so film industry folk die in the next, say, 11 1/2 months than there
is every chance that Corey Haim would be the type of person the Academy

Frankly, I thought this was another post about Roy LIEberman when I saw
the subject line. But then realized that would be Loony, not Loonie.

I'm not sure. Brad Renfro was left out, but then again, he wasn't as
well-known as Haim. Given the John Hughes standalone tribute, they
may include him since he was known to people who grew up with Hughes'
films. I think it's a 50-50 chance.
On the other hand, they may decide to make it longer and more

That would be a disaster from a dramatic standpoint which would
dictate that the "best" be saved for last, and could hurt the
survivors of someone who was respected within, but little known
outside the industry following a well loved "star" when the applause
