They started at 8:30. (5:30 Pacific.) Which uhm - seems unneccesary - and unexplained - to me. If they had started at the normal time it seems to me
that they would have had plenty of time. And hey, in years past they've had
NO problem at all running over by as much as an hour or more. So for me
the "time" argument doesn't wash, either.
Not mentioning Farrah? B-
Trying to weasel out of it and not simply saying "Mia Copa?" PRICELESS Epic Fail!

It was creepy that Farrah was left out, to think there is someone, or persons, who say 'Nope' and deliberately not flash her photo for half a second- someone should lose their job over it.
No, Farrah didn't have a major film career, still, she belonged there in the tribute. (Dom DeLuise had more of a film career than Farrah??)
Robert Duvall praised Farrah for her work in 'The Apostle' which was fairly recent, and Robert Altman used her in his unliked 'Dr. T and The Women'-- It would have been a perfect thing, and really have showed class, if Jeff Bridges had remembered to mention Farrah when he won- they were both young, vibrant and gorgeous when Farrah chose him as co-star for 'Somebody Killed Her Husband' circa 1977, and 3 and a half decades later, she's dead, and he's winning an Oscar. But it's likely he may have forgotten that film, most people have.
I'm glad others noticed (and started this thread) that the Farrah snub was really, really low.

Hey, you got it! Good for you. High five.


Anyway, it was ****ty that Farrah got left out. I thought those "farewell to these dead people" things always included everyone & their brother (I know there have been several where I said to myself "who the hell is that?" or "what the hell did HE ever do in that industry?") Very odd that this year they suddenly decided to pick & choose who to include.

BTW - apparently Ricardo Montelbaun was also left out. Hello, Naked Gunn? Wrath of Khan? If you're going to include Britany Murphy, you should damn sure include the rest.
