This is actually one of the best postings so far in 2018.

Has David Ogden Stiers left it too late to get a mention?

It was Lewis who ended it.

 

Also glad to see Foray was acknowledged.

Dorothy Malone snubbed? Wow.

 

Began with Avildsen, bit of a surprise there. And good to see Suzuki and Nakajima remembered.

Tobe Hooper got snubbed as well. I mean, Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn’t academy material, but considering how iconic it has become, it’s surprising...

With the Grammys  doing the whole 'female' thing -- I think the Oscars carry the torch.  You can eliminate all the males  in that list. Give me Penny Marshall FTW.

What about this year?

I guess they will start with Doris Day and end with Kirk Douglas.

A bit cheating, wasn't it? Including 2020 deaths...

They always included a lot of the January/February deaths in the in memoriam package, so not really imo

If Douglas had lived a week longer think John Singleton,Doris Day or Peter Fonda would have been the name they closed with.

Lollobrigida and Mirisch to top and tail either way around.

So they sort of split it up and ended the first half with Burt Bacharach, and then the second half with Walter Mirisch, former Academy president. Bit self-congratulatory, but I guess they had to.

Lollobrigrida and Lansbury somewhat in the middle.
