The Late Farrah Fawcett Left Out of Oscars 'In Memoriam' Tribute

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 7th 2010 10:48PM

Every year, there are a few names who always wind up being left out of the Oscars tribute to the stars who died in the previous year. This year, the PopEater team was shocked that Farrah Fawcett, one of the year's biggest celebrity losses, did not make the cut.

Surely, the actress is known mostly for her TV work on 'Charlie's Angels' and the TV movie classic 'The Burning Bed.' But Oscar shouldn't have overlooked that Fawcett starred in films ranging from the sci-fi thriller 'Saturn 3' to the '80s road-rally hit 'The Cannonball Run' to the drama 'Extremities' to Robert Altman's 'Dr. T and the Women' to 'The Apostle.'

Did you notice any other stars that didn't make the cut in this year's tribute? Remember, John Hughes was not nominated in the film montage, but he had been singled out in a separate tribute earlier in the evening. See Clips of John Hughes Tribute >>>

Fawcett died in June after a long and public battle with cancer at 62.

I can think of no worse tribute to me when I die then to be mentioned at the oscars.

By pam

You would think they had plenty of time to review the list and do a second check so this sort of thing does not happen..

bea & farrah are television actresses, not movie stars.

simple as that

i said "are" but i meant "were"

how embarrassing

Oh for the love of pete, it's NOT the end of the world. Either Farrah was not an Academy member or it's a sorry oversight. Many actors choose NOT to be members (Sean Penn), AND...many TV actors who did do films got TURNED DOWN for Academy membership. Michael Jackson was probably a member since he was nominated for best song, and best short film. Farrah was never an Oscar nominee or winner for anything. The only ones they really seemed to miss to me was Bea Arthur and Henry Gibson.

People need to realize that it's the Academy Awards, they only honor movies, nothing else! Not tv, not radio, ONLY BIG-SCREEN MOVIES!!!

I can't believe they left out Henry Gibson! I loved him! I immediately think of "Innerspace" when I hear his name! I know the majority of his work was TV, but he still did a lot of movies over decades!

So if you are black, and you don't care for Michael Jackson that makes you white trash? Hummm?

By Rox

Yes, thank you! I'm sure if we put our thinking caps on, we will find others.

By mark

EMARI...you're right. Michael Jackson touched a lot of people. Especially little boys!
