Watch: Corey Haim 'In Memoriam' Video the Oscars Never Gave

By Moviefone Editors Posted Mar 12th 2011 12:35AM

This week marked one year since former teen icon Corey Haim died following complications from pneumonia. Much of Haim's upbringing -- starring in a series of hit '80s movies, his troubles with drug addiction and his efforts at a comeback -- has been widely documented. However, Haim re-entered the news even before this anniversary, after being snubbed from the "In Memoriam" package at the Academy Awards.

Moviefone touts films like 'Lucas' and 'The Lost Boys' as beloved classics, and they took it a step further by taking a moment to do what the Academy didn't: honor the life and career of Corey Haim.

Moviefone has created an 'In Memoriam' video to celebrate Haim's body of work and the impact he had on audiences, featuring narration by Haim's on- and off-screen buddy Corey Feldman, who also shared additional thoughts on Haim's talents, their relationship and how he has dealt with the past year.

He should have been included in the Oscars. I know there was an uproar over Brad Renfro and some others being omitted, but I can understand why Renfro wasn't included.

But Haim was HUGE in the 80s and early 90s. Lucas was one of the greatest roles and such a great movie. Haim was so good in it.

He definitely ruined his career with the drugs and self-destruction, but his early work should still be recognized.

I really don't like Corey Feldman though. I think he's a jerk.

He was an actor in a town that chews people up and spits them out when they go sour.

Instead of trying to help him, they used him to his fullest and walked away.

He deserved a proper good-bye and it's sad that no one did that till now.

May he get some peace in death that he didn't get in life.

Leslie Nielsen was also left out of the Oscar memorial. A much better actor with a long career. It happens.

Lucas is one of the sweetest movies ever made and Corey carried the movie. It was nice to see someone portray a believable kid instead of the mini-adult characters that so many child actors play. Good movie for Charlie Sheen, too.

Corey Haim was a nice young man, that had manners.
It was not like him to talk badly about others, as some like to do. He was in a lot of movies through out his short time here.
Most of them were some great movies, I have seen a few times.
Hollywood can be rough on younger people, as Corey Feldman said.
I am glad that Corey Haim, had a good friend to make sure we all remembered Corey.
Thank you Corey Feldman, for taking the time and effort, to do this for Corey Haim. Corey Haim will not be for gotten, he was a good person, and good actor, he will be missed.

When the hell is the world going to MOVE ON from this Corey Haim crap???? He's dead. He lived his life bad. Consequences came. He couldn't stop the drug habit. End of story and end of his. The entertainment industry has moved on and those who live in the 80's need to as well.

By Melissa

Glad that something has finally been done for Corey Haim. It was well overdue.

Trish, the only idiot I see you for disrespecting this young man's death. NO matter how he died, he entertained many with his films. He was a great child actor who left us memorable performances in Lucas, Lost Boys, Murphy's Romance...etc. Thanks for the memories Corey! R.I.P.
