Considering how broadly they cast the net for this years In Memorium I am really surprised by Brad Renfro not making the cut.

Also, I know Heath Ledger was most recent and unexpected but I think they really should have ended with one of the three great directors lost last year, with my vote going to Bergman.

Did anyone else see Ann Hathaway's interview at the Governor's Ball? She was asked about Heath and she looked sort of uncomfortable and said "it was a great loss". George pushed her some more and she added "he was a great talent" then repeated the same phrase. It seemed like she was holding on to some very strong opinions about his death.

Thank you for noticing, and reminding me. I knew someone was missing.

I think that with the talent we lost, they should have ended with someone else.
However, Ledger's was very recent, poignant, and the community is still reeling. Add to that, the lonely cowboy shot.. there was no other way they would have gone with that.

I had personally hoped they would end with Bergman or Plechette.
