From what I've seen elsewhere, this was shown on TCM, not the Oscars.

Assuming the list of people in the memorium I found is correct, a lot of spaces to appear to go to people who were nominated or won Academy Awards in the prominent categories:
Abby Mann - 1 win, 1 more nomination Anthony Minghella - 1 win, 3 more nominations Charles Joffe - 1 win Charlton Heston - 1 win Claude Berri - 1 win, 1 more nomination David Watkin - 1 win Isaac Hayes - 1 win, 1 more nomination James Whitmore - 2 nominations John Michael Hayes - 2 nominations Jules Dassin - 2 nominations Kon Ichikawa - 1 indirect nomination (he direct The Burmese Harp, best foreign language nominee); also a major post-war Japanese director. Leonard Rosenman - 2 wins, 2 more nominations Paul Newman - 1 win, 9 more nominations Paul Scofield - 1 win, 1 more nomination Richard Widmark - 1 nomination Robert Mulligan - 1 nomination Roy Scheider - 2 nominations Stan Winston - 2 wins, 6 more nominations Sydney Pollack - 2 wins, 5 more nominations So that leaves 9 people mentioned who I don't think were ever nominated: Charles Schneer - Major B movie producer Evelyn Keyes - Prominent second female lead in the '40s/'50s. Joseph Caracciolo - Seems to have done art design and producing. IMDb doesn't even know he's dead yet. No wiki page. Maila Nurmi - Better known as Vampira Manny Farber - Prominent film critic Ned Tanen - Former major studio head Ricardo Montalban - Actor Robert DoQui - Actor Warren Cowan - Legendary publicist. So it looks to me like they probably have some rule about which former nominee/winners are automatically included. Then they know they have X slots available for all of the other people who died that year and probably try to spread the love around a bit through industry. And then hunker down for the inevitable barrage of "why didn't my husband get in!" complaints (I know this is real, some book on the Oscars I've read mentioned that many attempts have been made by producers to remove the segment so they wouldn't have to deal with the hurt feelings afterward). |

Hmm...Well if Cyd Charisse was in there then the list I found wasn't complete.
Unfortunately the In Memorium page at Oscars.org is not a representation of who actually made it into the video. But looking at that list it does suggest that nearly everbody mentioned was a member of one branch of the Academy or another. |

And every time Strangler Lewis posts the Memorial Sucked, I feel compelled to post it was the Best Memorial Ever.

We thought the whole thing was OK.
I liked Anne Hathaway getting in on the opening number. I liked the memorial. If I were his family I would have been unable to read the autocue. I liked the way they presented the nominees. Now we need to go back to the Kodak Theatre and pose on the steps again.

Ok, the list I had found didn't include the first ten people in the montage. And it does appear that is where they mostly clumped the non-Oscar people). The complete list in order:
Cyd Charisse - Actress (no nominations) Bernie Mac - Actor (no nominations) Bud Stone - Executive (no nominations) Ollie Johnston - Animator (no nominations) Van Johnson - Actor (no nominations) J. Paul Huntsman - Sound editor (no nominations) Michael Crichton - Writer/Producer (a technical achievement win) Nina Foch - Actress (1 nomination) Pat Hingle - Actor (no nominations) Harold Pinter - Writer (2 nominations) Charles H. Joffe - Producer Kon Ichikawa - Japanese Director Abby Mann - Writer Roy Scheider - Actor David Watkin - DP Robert Mulligan - Director Evelyn Keyes - Actress Richard Widmark - Actor Claude Berri - Director Maila Nurmi - Actress Isaac Hayes - Musician Leonard Rosenman - Composer Ricardo Montalban - Actor Manny Farber - Film Critic Robert DoQui - Actor Jules Dassin - Director Paul Scofield - Actor John Michael Hayes - Writer Warren Cowan - Publicist Joseph M. Caracciolo - Producer Stan Winston - Special Effects Ned Tanen - Executive/Producer James Whitmore - Actor Charlton Heston - Actor Anthony Minghella - Director/Producer Sydney Pollack - Director/Producer/Actor Paul Newman - Actor |

I like the way a technical achievement win ranks below nominations for an actress and writer.
