Farrah Fawcett Snubbed At 2010 Oscars In Memoriam Tribute
Actress Farrah Fawcett, who passed away after a long battle against rectal cancer back in June 2009, was not included in the classic “In Memoriam” tribute at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (March 7).
This tribute included names like Patrick Swayze, Brittany Murphy and even Michael Jackson but Farrah was labeled as a TV star and therefore left out because there wasn’t enough time.
“It is the single most troubling element of the Oscar show every year,” says Bruce Davis, executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “Because more people die each year than can possibly be included in that segment. It gets close to agonizing by the end. You are dropping people who the public knows. It’s just not comfortable.”
It sounds like a lame excuse! Farrah was best known for her role in “Charlie’s Angels” but she also starred in several movies like “Sunburn”, “The Cannonball Run” and “Extremities”, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination back in the 80’s.
