Farrah Fawcett Snubbed by Oscar (the Academy)?

Why was Farrah not remembered at the Academy Awards? She had been in somewhere around 20 feature films. Anyone know why?

From what I heard, there are so many deaths a year, that it's a struggle to find space for everyone. I also heard that since Farrah was more of a television star, they didn't put her in for the movies (though they put in Michael Jackson, so who knows?)
I don't think of Farrah as a film actress, either. There were many other TV movie actors who passed away and weren't honored as well. She wasn't a "movie star", really.
I just saw a report on this. The Academy has apologized but stands by their decision, even though she was in 19 movies, she was better known as a TV star. Michael Jackson was honored because his posthumous movie was a blockbuster hit.

Ffffffft. She was a blockbuster star. The Oscars themselves were hosted by a TV personality this year, and the show is shown onnnnn oh yeah. TV.

The truth is she never liked Hollywood and Hollywood never liked her.

Now I was never a huge fan, but she was a huge star. IMHO
She was in 19 movies?

Not made-for-TV movies but film movies?

I had no idea. Honestly, outside of the Lifetime movies, she's just one of Charlie's Angels to me.
Movie industry never took her seriously. I think she should have been mentioned.

In her IMDB profile, I only counted 5 movies that weren't made for TV (but I may have missed some, it was a quick glance). Who knew Logan's Run was one of them though? Wow.

You know, last year for my 30th birthday I told Josh that my green light was turning to red on my palm - he called me a nerd.
