Don't have access to a TV set right now, but I'm going to hope that you can't hear the audience clapping during the memorial bit right?

Not at all during it.

 

[MHWilliams]

Omar Sharif died? Goddamn it!

 

[KingBroly]

Why didn't they show Abe Vigoda?

 

[The Lamonster]

No Jon Lovitz?

Haha I got this reference

 

[Volimar]

Where was Abe Vigoda?!!!!

Oh yeah, Wtf.

 

[Enthus]

Oh man, the clip they chose for Bowie made me smile.

 

[An-Det]

Damn, we lost some great people this past year.

When did Omar Sharif pass away? Fuck...

Same, I had no idea he had passed.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

James Horner death still saddens me.

For sure. One of my favorite composers ever.

 

[DjRalford]

UGH, so many legends gone.

yeah, seeing it one after the other like that, a lot of lost talent.

 

[bigwinnerx]

See they even had to use a song with Black in the title.

And I'm a bad person.

 

[Toothless]

Great segment as usual although hearing cheers for Bowie was kinda weird. That said, maybe it was for using Zoolander?

 

[Yawnier]

That spock quote at the end......

 

[Oersted]

That was such an odd inclusion.

I guess Academy member.

 

[fr0st]

LOL THIS IBM COMMERCIAL

 

[Javier]

I'm glad they remembered Stan Freberg. He was, I believe, the last person alive who worked on the original Looney Tunes shorts.

 

[JABEE]

They remember Moe Greene but forget Tessio!!!!

 

[Rhaknar]

Like half a year ago?

Somehow I missed it, or im going senile. Damn :/

 

[Jarmel]

Watson confirmed for Prometheus 2.

 

[MarauderShields]

Where was Abe

 

[Ithil]

One of the more painful Memoriams. I mean they all suck to see, but that one in particular.

 

[smokeymicpot]

They totally forgot Abe Vigota aka Tessio from Godfather.

Probably thought he died years ago or he is still alive.

 

[VeryGooster]

Robert Chartoff was one of the producers that helped make Rocky happen. Didn't know he passed.

Jerry Weintraub was on The Karate KId.

 

[sangreal]

Why didn't they show Abe Vigoda?

He died in 2016

and to any other questions -- they were probably not academy members

 

[crazyrabbits]

No Abe Vigoda...

"Can you get me off the hook, Tom, for old time's sake?"

 

[Raxus]

Wonder if Watson will ask Scott WTF was up with Prometheus

 

[Bronx-Man]

No Jon Lovitz?

CaptainAmerica.gif

 

[Premium Quality]

No Abe Vigoda?

 

[Vanille]

Great segment, as always. Could have done without Grohl though.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Leo is a good actor but he's not good enough for an oscar. I hope he doesn't win.

 

[LiK]

No Abe Vigoda?

FUCK, they forgot lol

 

[RangersFan]

No Eric the Actor. Fuck you Oscars

Wait...Forgot he died in 2014

I think Gary tried to get him in on last years Oscars. I mean he did die in September 2014, so if it were to happen it would have happened for the 2015 Oscars.

 

[Ledbetter]

Great performance by Dave Grohl, one of my favorite Beatles songs.

 

[robotrock]

I don't think they were clapping much at all.

They all clapped at the end and that was it

Not at all during it.

Good to hear

 

[overcast]

It's going till 8:30 or 9:30?

 

[rec0ded1]

James Horner died? Oh damn

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

You know what should be on screen? My respect for the Academy after the Stallone snub.

Jokes aside, RIP to everyone shown in that segment. Their contributions will forever leave a mark to film.

Spoiler

Academy still sucks tho, fuck em

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

This is supposed to end at 11:30, no?

Seems kinda unlikely at this point...

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Why are you making it seem like not talking is a negative for an acting role?

It's more that he didn't have very much to do. And when he had to act with Hardy, Hardy pretty much stole every scene.

 

[serenewarfare]

Really strange that Abe Vigoda wasn't in the package.

 

[Kas]

No Jon Lovitz?

He's still alive, thank god.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Abe died in 2016 didn't he?

 

[chadskin]

Yo Abe Vigoda got snubbed big time.

 

[Salsa]

Great segment as usual although hearing cheers for Bowie was kinda weird. That said, maybe it was for using Zoolander?

*footage of dead people*

WOOO ZOOLANDER!!!

yeah im sure it was that

 

[Frustrated_me]

These IBM Watson commercials have been 10/10.. Awesome stuff.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Abe Vigoda

Did they not include him?

 

[kingocfs]

Autonomous cars HERE WE GO

 

[dEvAnGeL]

If dicaprio doesn't win the oscar today I don't think he ever will, his performance in the revenant is incredible

 

[Ithil]

He died in 2016

and to any other questions -- they were probably not academy members

As did numerous others there including Bowie and Rickman.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Abe died in 2016 didn't he?

He did, yeah.

 

[Timbuktu]

James Horner died? Oh damn

Plane crash.
