Joan Rivers snubbed in Oscars In Memoriam..

grumpycat — Mon, 23 Feb 2015 06:21:15 GMT

Joan Rivers wasn't included in the Oscars remembrance of all the entertainment people that passed in 2014. Why not?!?! She WAS the Oscars! She was integral in the whole production and fanfare that makes the Oscars what it is today. She was the reason we all tuned in early to watch the celebrities filter in, and judge their outfit choices. I don't know how they could've overlooked her!

Actually, I didn't think of it (Joan Rivers) when watching, but now that I do think about it, maybe they should have said something. She was a real character!

Was she ever a 'big screen' actress? Isn't that what the Oscars are for?

Joan Rivers was not an actress...so I don't see why she would be included.

They could have added her but since she was not in the film industry (actor, director, producer, etc.) she was left out. Considering she was on the red carpet interviewing for years, she should have been included.

But, arguably, she was on the red carpet for television. She was a television personality - and a big one. But, I understand why she wasn't included here.

Sorry, but didn't ever associate Joan with the Oscars. All I know is that she hosted a show on E afterwards where a panel of nobodies would criticize with supposed humor the attire of the actors and actresses. For the record, I liked Joan on the Q and thought she was a very funny lady most of the time.

She did appear in a film with Burt Lancaster many years ago, so technically she was an actress.

If you check her IMDb and Wikipedia pages, she does indeed have movie acting, writing and directing credits.

David Dangle wrote a blog about Joan's influence on the red carpet. She basically pioneered the entire "who are you wearing" that now begins every award show.

No, she wasn't a film actress, and I've never seen a deceased TV interviewer included in the In Memoriam tributes.

I think she deserved to be in the memorial as much as make up artists or marketing people. Even though she was not an actress, she was star quality and had a close association with the Oscars....

Yes she was, that is how she started her career. She was in her movie "A Piece of Work". She was in many films.

That was not good- forgetting her!!!

There is already quite a bit about this in the e-media news. Seems like many felt she was snubbed....

I'm beginning to wonder if they do this on purpose. Every year they leave out someone. Do they just want to generate Oscar conversation??

Looks like the news media has already noted the omission.
