Responses to "Five reasons Corey Haim should have been included in the 83rd Annual Academy Awards In Memoriam segment"

Gil Vasquez says:

I thought the same thing. They gave him the ‘Farrah Fawcett’ snub this year…..

Childers says:

My theory is that they were trying to distract from the horrendous choice of hosts. Both epic fails.

mdub420 says:

Yeah I wanted him to be included. Why he wasn’t, I do not know? Let us know if you read why he wasn’t included.

pk says:

If they REALLY wanted to appeal to a younger crowd you think they WOULD have included him….
shame…

zippy says:

They DID include Kirk Douglas though… Oh wait, was he still alive? Talk about attracting a younger audience…NOT! Geez, the whole time he was on I was afraid he WOULD die. Like Dick Clark’s continued New Year’s Eve appearances, seeing old Kirk was uncomfortable.

A.G says:

@ zippy……………OMG That was so uncalled for!!!!!

Christy says:

I know my comment is a little late…and I totally agree that they should have included Corey Haim…but what about Gary Coleman? Didn’t they snub him too?!

Heather says:

I’ve heard people say the same of Rue McClanahan. I think it might have to with those actors primarily being on TV, and the fact that the Oscars celebrate movies and movie stars.

Remember last year, I think it was, when they “forgot” Brad Renfro (The Client)? He too was notorious for drug use (like Haim), so I wonder if the Academy tries to stay away from that kind of thing.
