It's March 16th, and here's what's happening across entertainment and pop culture.
The Oscars in Memorium segment honors stars who passed away over the past year,
but this time around, several big names were noticeably absent.
While tributes rove for folks like Rob Reiner and Catherine O'Hara,
icons such as French actress Brigitte Bardot, who died in December 20,
25, got skipped entirely.
Bud Court from Harold and Maude and Brewster McLeod,
who passed in February 26, also missed out, along with Robert Caradine of revenge.
Of the nerds and Lizzie McGuire fame.
These omissions caught many by surprise during the live broadcast.
Fans and viewers took to social media right away, calling it shocking that such familiar faces were overlooked.
The segment aims to celebrate legacies, yet timing of deaths or production choices left some
major contributors in the shadows.
Adding to the list were TV heavyweights like James Vanderbike from Dawson's Creek and
varsity blues. Errit Dane of Gray's Anatomy and X-Men, the last. Stand, plus Malcolm
Jamal Warner and the Reda Swit. Even June Lockhart, the mom from Lassie and Lost in Space, didn't
appear. Names like Hulk Hogan from Rocky 3, Peter Green from Pulp Fiction, and others such as
as Marianne Faithful and Bob Ewecker rounded out the snubs. Despite the gaps, these talents
leave lasting marks on film and fans everywhere. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor.
