Normally, I wouldn’t do a meme, but as everyone knows, sometimes I succumb to things. This week, Topical Tuesday is about the Oscars, and well, I just couldn’t resist.
What are some things that are bothering me about the Oscars this year? The fact that Brad Renfro was not mentioned in the memoriam. Not sure what’s up with that, but of course the Oscar mentioned that they only had a limited time, and could not mention everyone. Why was Brad bumped out? It couldn’t have been anyone else right? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he died because of a heroine overdose could it? I hope not, because that would be some kind of discrimination. There are a lot of rumours out on the Internet. Who knows why he was bumped. It’s probably true that there’s no particular reason, and they did it because they really didn’t have any time. Ok, that’s cool.
Then it brings me to another thing. During the montages of all the hosts of the Oscars, did you get to see Whoopi Goldberg? You may have watched the View or seen all the news about it on the Internet. They totally did not include her in the montage, but did they show all of them? I think that it’s really awful they didn’t include Whoopi, I love her to death, but I think she may have overreacted. Although a part of me agrees with her when she said, “Undoubtedly, I pissed somebody off once again.” Although I have no idea why. She’s funny as hell!
What do you think? Opinions? Conspiracy Theories? Bring it!

I wish that had used an image of Heath Ledger that showed him smiling. They included a lot of agents and executives than I’ve ever seen before which leads me to believe that the “In Memoriam” was just as politicized as the Oscars themselves.
I love Whoopi to bits. She’s hilarious! There always seems to be some controversy around her though. I never understand that. I don’t follow celebrity gossip or news like that so I never quite know what’s happening.
I was a little ashamed that I didn’t notice Brad’s absence from the montage. He was accounted for at the SAG’s, but then, it’s a whole different ball game.
And I feel bad for Whoopi. I love her. They did show her when she won her Oscar, so they didn’t exclude her from the show completely. As the Oscar people tried to spin the situation, they omitted former host Steve Martin from that montage as well.
