Farrah Fawcett’s Oscars Snub But Michael Jackson And Patrick Swayze Remembered

THE image of Patrick Swayze led off the tributes and Karl Malden seemed to generate the loudest applause, but Farrah Fawcett, was for some reason excluded from last night’s Academy Awards “In Memorium” segment.

Farrah may be better known for her television work, but she also starred in classic films including Myra Breckenridge, Logan’s Run, Sunburn, The Cannon Ball Run, Extremities, The Apostle and Dr. T and The Women.

(Michael Jackson, who died the same days Farrah and whose film bio is far less substantial than Farrah’s, was included.) – TB.

Who chooses who gets remembered?

What a stupid headline. Why wouldn’t Patrick Swayze be remembered? He’s a movie star if not a movie legend. The star of Ghost and Dirty Dancing, enough said. MJ, The Wiz. Don’t blame Farrah’s “snub” on Swayze and Jackson. It isn’t their fault. The last 20 years of Farrah’s “career” was almost non-existent. Charlies Angels was her claim to fame. That’s it. Sorry.

Michael Has been in eight feature films, besides how the hell is it his fault that farrah wasnt included people can be so ignorant. He was an actor although he was not primarily known for that because he was worlds biggest entertainer. But you cant say he doesnt belong their as much as Farrah, The academy should have made the segment a bit longer cut a few speeches short. Blame the academy not MJ give the man a break.

1978 The Wiz
1986 Captain EO
1988 Moonwalker
1997 Ghosts
2002 Men in Black II
2004 Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls
2009 Michael Jackson’s This Is It

You should be ashamed of yourself for putting MJ down. In case you missed the news HE IS DEAD. He didn’t ask to be put up there. Media wirch hunt begins again. Leave him alone. Media sucked his blood when he was alive. Yes Farah should have been there. How dare you torture MJ over this. Long live the king!!!! like it or not he will always be remembered so get used to it.
