Title: Dennis Patrick NOT INCLUDED in the Oscars 'In Memoriam' segment!
Post by: Darren Gross on March 24, 2003, 06:13:20 AM

Now, I'm not being DS-centric here, but Patrick had a significant film career and more than deserved to be included tonight.

Appalling.

i did notice in IMdb that dennis patrick mostly had a television career but you are quite correct in that he should have had a snap in the memorial film as a former member of the academy.

I'm not exactly surprised, but agreed, it is a sad omission.

I guess legal couldn't clear those DEAR DEAD DELILAH clips... ;)

But seriously, just doing the well-regarded JOE and being such a recognizable player should have been enough...

You think? I mean, it's got more of a cult film reputation these days, plus most of his career seems to have been television based.

I don't remember them having so many technical people in previous years. . .i thought it a bit odd. . .they had great directors and stuff. .but all these editors, etc.  I think they deserve greater credit, yes but it stood out this year.

I was sort of half watching the oscars at that point but I got the impression that all of the people they showed had won an oscar?  They didn't show Jonathan Harris either...  Who knows what they were thinking?

JOE was also nominated for a best screenplay oscar at the time, so the movie shouldn't be completely off their radar.

There were a lot of people that they didn't show in the In Memoriam section.  I remember they even showed Mary Jane Croft (from the Lucy Show) in this section of the Oscars a few years ago.
