As if you needed another list to tell you, but just in case, the list of winners at 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards:
The buzz around all of the celebrity gossip blogs today is why Brad Renfro was left out of the Oscar memoriam montage? Hmm… well I sure as hell don’t believe the lame ass excuse the editors are giving for having left him out. Honestly, he seems to be the only one left out.
Funny how some of those remembered had two or three shots, and others were left with one quick focus of their picture. Could they not have given him a one quick look? Obviously not. I mean honestly, he didn’t die of natural causes like most of those, and unlike Heath’s accidental overdoes of the wrong combination of prescription medications, Brad died quietly, a victim of a heroine overdoes. Guess that wouldn’t look good for Oscar to remember.
Oh, the reason behind not having him in the montage, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences explained this in a statement, “There are too many people to include everyone. We tried to represent all the branches of the Academy.” Guess you would have had time had you not done stupid ass things like little montages to binoculars and nightmares. Hello?
So, guess this is notice to all of those actors and actresses out there - if you know you will die this year, make sure it is for a good reason so that you can be included in the memoriam montage for 2008, otherwise you won’t be remembered. Pretty sad, but that’s Hollywood.
