Mister TV Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 They also left out Topol, but he passed so close to the event they might put him in next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 2 hours ago, Mister TV said: Notable cuts from the In Memoriam were Tom Sizemore, Paul Sorvino, Ann Heche, Gilbert Gottfried and Charlbi Dean who was in Best Picture nom Triangle of Sadness. It's pretty weak all five of them were left out. Was really surprised about them missing Sorvino, because one of the more affecting moments in an In Memoriam segment at one of the precursors (maybe the Globes?) was recognizing Liotta and him back to back with both sides of the "now I have to turn my back on you" scene from Goodfellas.

odessasteps Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 It’d be interesting to know how close to broadcast they have to lock the In Memorium video. And if someone VERY IMPORTANT (Spielberg, Hanks level) died right before the ceremony, that would be probably just end up being mentioned on the show anyway.

Mister TV Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Here's a longer list of who they left out, it's shameful they left out two time nominee Melinda Dillon. https://www.thewrap.com/oscars-2023-in-memoriam-left-off-anne-heche-tom-sizemore/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I think the most galling thing about the "In Memoriam" segment was saving a former president of the academy for last. No casual viewer cares about that and they really should've ended it on James Caan and put the former somewhere in the middle. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 The Tonys will not air on Television as the WGA denied the producers of the show a strike waiver that would have allowed the June 11 broadcast to take place Due to how much Broadway relies on the broadcast to push ticket sales of shows - an emergency meeting is being held today to decide what their next steps are (one of the options is delaying the show until the strike is over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The BAFTA TV awards were last night. I know Ben Whishaw got something for doing voice of Paddington in that vignette with the Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Is there any info on how the strike negotiations are proceeding? How long did the last one last, btw? I'm itching for my new Colbert -- these pricks need to give their pound of flesh to the writers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 The one in 2007 lasted 3-4 months, this one is expected to be longer. What little I see on Twitter suggests that it’s not going well. One report was that the stalled productions have already cost studios more money than the WGA is asking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
