OSCARS: You forgot somebody.

March 8th, 2010 // 59 Comments

If you sat through the entire three hour plus verbal blowjob fest that was last night’s Oscar, you were probably too paralyzed with suicidal thoughts to notice they forgot Farrah Fawcett during the “Ha Ha, You People Died” montage. So The Superficial would like to remedy that by reminding everyone Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer in 2009 except it happened mere hours before Michael Jackson’s overdose so no one gave a shit. Teach her not to make Thriller

Rest In Peace

  2. Jones

    Wow, what a fail, good catch fish.

  3. I've got a crush on the GW

    They forgot Bea Arthur too!

    wtf would they mention farrah fawcett during the academy awards show for, she was never in a movie was she? other than made for tv crap. besides, Dom Deluise was not only a better actor than farrah, he had a bigger rack.

    “three hour verbal blowjob fest”=most accurate description ever. lolllllllll

    off the top of my head, there’s Logan’s Run. Cannonball Run, and some peice of shit with Donald Sutherland (the name of which I can’t remember) that used to get heavy rotation on Cinemax when I was a kid…

  7. shemp von hindenburg

    oops. that was suzanne sommers in the sutherland flick. heh heh. no wonder it was a POS…

    #4 makes a good point, but a nice gesture, nonetheless.

  9. Jen

    Yep, totally noticed. It must be nice to know that the community thinks Brittany Murphy is a bigger icon than you.

    Good Lord that first photo of her in red….wow…she was one of the most stunning creatures to ever walk this planet

  11. the2ndsuitor

    This happened last year too. I think they forgot Brad Renfro since he died days to a week before Heath Ledger.

    Sucks to get overshadowed, even in your death!

  12. pstone

    they also forgot Ed McMahon

  13. TonyTheTuna

    They forgot Ed McMahon too.

  14. The Pistol

    She should definitely have been included.

    Fun fact of the day: Farrah Fawcett was the voice of “Faucet” in The Brave Little Toaster. Ha!!

  15. Richard McBeef

    who watches that autofellation garbage anyway? I wish they were all dead.

  16. Melissa

    Ed McMahon? WTF? This is the Oscars. You know, for the movies? What movie was Ed McMahon in? Idiots.

    I also think this is why Farrah wasn’t included. She was considered more of a tv star than movies. But, if they included Michael Jackson for being in one movie, then they should have included her also.

    I can understand someone not being completely familiar with any given actors body of work, but for fucks sake dude, this is 2010 and you’re sitting at the fucking internet. She was in almost 20 films, 10 seconds with google would have prevented you from making an idiot of yourself.

  18. Pussy Galore

    Looks like the poster #18 absolutely hit the nail on the head.

    It pays to do a little research to avoid looking like an ass hat in the future!

    Actually, Fawcett was in The Apostle with Robert Duvall in 1997 and was nominated for an Independent Spirit award as Best Supporting actress for it.

  20. andy7171

    Couldn’t they have just copied the Golden Globe list? Fail.

  21. Sid

    It’s outrageous. They treated her like ass cancer.

  22. mamamiasweetpeaches

    It really must suck to die and cause a fuss for about ten minutes…and then have Michael Freakin Jackson die and blow you right out of the water!

    I remember when it happened my husband being pissed because he thought she deserved more accolades than Mike. Im sorry: Michael Jackson has made tons of great music and can sing and dance like nobodys business. Like everyone points out even though Farrah had TV shows and movies they werent exactly Entertainment Gold. Im just sayin.

  23. Fun fact of the day: Farrah Fawcett was the voice of “Faucet” in The Brave Little Toaster. Ha!!

  24. Colorgreen

    Actually, Farrah was nominated for a golden globe for best actress in 1987 for Extremeties.

  25. A dude

    She has done movies and was actually nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 1986.

    But regardsless of the quality of her other work, she was considered a star and one of the biggest sex symbols in the 70s and 80s.

    I think she deserved it more than a popsinger who’d really only played himself in one movie and a few cameos.

  26. ass cancer

    you know, if you need to go on google to find out whether she was ever in a film or not, then her body of work in film does not warrant any mention on the academy awards broadcast. ass. she had a hot set of funbags 30 years ago, and as far as i know (you can google it if you want to prove me wrong) she never showed her funbags in a film ever. she was not known for her prolific body of work in films. the academy awards could have made up a new award for lifetime achievement by a washed up old bag who used to be hot but has been irrellevant since 10 million other younger hotter more talented actresses came along after her. i just don’t get why anyone thinks she was such a big deal.

  27. McFeely Smackup

    “you know, if you need to go on google to find out whether she was ever in a film or not, then her body of work in film does not warrant any mention on the academy awards broadcast”

    The rest of us already KNEW her film history, you’re the one splattering their stupidity across the internet.

    She was a long way from a “big deal”, what she is is a dead actress who was left out of a very small list of dead actresses. that absence is worth noting.

  28. ass cancer

    they left out Bea Arthur too – where’s your outrage over that? no one i know can name a single film she was in ever, without looking it up on google. she was a tv star, not a film star, regardless of the fact she was in ‘cannonball run’ almost 40 years ago, and a handfull of exceptionally poor low budget films that no one saw. farrah fawcett’s death wasn’t mentioned on an awards show honoring the greatest contributors to the motion picture industry because she was not a great contributor to the film industry. not by any stretch of the imagination. As an actress, Farrah Fawcett couldn’t carry Bea Arthur’s jock strap.

  29. I watching the entire over 4 hour program and I”m outraged over the forgetfulness of Farrah and Bea! Huge icons and to have Michael Jackson added, but not these fine ladies. This is a real slap to Hollywood. It’s courtesy that’s what it boils down to.

  30. Miss Bitch

    Karl Malden should have been up there before Farrah. About 200 people died this past year and they only included 30 in the package, apparently so they could give more time for lame jokes and a bunch of actors circle-jerking for the nominees.

    WTF was that anyway? We already saw them in their movies, they’re nominated so we know they’re good at their “craft”, so why have a bunch of assholes stand around & tell us what great actors the nominees are?

  31. STFUP

    Has everyone forgotten Farah was in Logan’s Run?

  32. Andrew

    It isn’t some smear campaign or some righteous indignity. The reason she was left out, and the reason anyone is left out, is simply that they weren’t members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. You HAVE to be a member to be recognized in the memorium segment. Anyone left out never coughed up their dues to join the Academy, and as such didn’t get their 5 seconds of screen time at the oscars. Boo Hoo.

  33. Jake_Ryan

    They fucking forgot JOHN HUGHES!!! He made every movie worth watching in the 80′s, yet they paid homage to a bunch of shit heads?

    Wait a minute, it’s the Oscars. Who gives a fuck? Sorry, lost my mind there for a minute.

  34. rockwatcher

    W Jake Ryan: Um, they did a huge tribute to John Hughes – including bringing out a bunch of the brat pack and showing a ton of clips.

    @ Miss Bitch: Karl Malden was the last person they showed in the tribute…

    Did either of you actually watch the program?

  35. me

    and what movie was michael jackson in???

    plus, farrah was in small sacrificies, made-for-tv crap for sure, but she pulled off a major, major acting job there….

  36. somethingoriginal

    michael jackson performed at the oscars before and the song from that movie that took $260m worldwide last year was apparently considered for nomination. natasha richardson got much louder applause – i guess most of the audience didn’t really think he fit the montage either.

  37. Look anon!

    Dear Superficial Writer, after the verbal ass tearing you received regarding your take on Boner’s death its painfully obvious your “Rest in Peace” comment here was a insincere hedge to appease the masses. Please don’t insult our intelligence.

  38. “Ha Ha, You People Died” lol that is solid gold!

  39. Stupid

    TCM Remembers is better than the Oscars.

    I find Turner Classic Movies does a way better tribute than the Oscars. Here is the link to their website.

    Michael Jackson was in the movie “the wiz”. Though there may be reasons we needn’t get into that he had charges brought against him and eventually died of bizarre consequences of drug addiction. Farrah FOUGHT her battle with cancer with bravery and did A LOT to bring the issue of violence against women into the spotlight into the 80′s. I don’t have a problem with Michael being there on account of all his accomplishments, but Farrah was so much more than her pin-up. She was the best of womanhood. She should not have been overlooked.

  41. StillInThe80

    An ex-molester sells better news and get all the media coverage by selling gloves that he never wore, albums that he sang once-upon-a-time than a once-upon-a-time so-called wild hairdo, hottie old woman, lying in bed bald, not even the wig was worth a single cent. Make money more important – but what a contrast, Avatar Director make more money, yet got less recognition? And you asked for recognition for a DEAD WOMAN?

  42. DaddyzGirl

    Farrah fought the good fight and should be recognized for just that. Cancer is not an easy battle for anyone. It was also a big disservice for Bea Arthur to not be recognized, WTF?? Give credit where credit is due for all…

  43. It must be nice to know that the community thinks Brittany Murphy is a bigger icon than you.

  44. Gando

    Wasn’t probably freaky enough to be mentioned! *Throws a cross*

  45. Rhialto

    *Shakes head* The good news is that this incident got her posted here.That’s at least similar to a fistful of these oscars.
