Leni Riefenstahl who's film Triumph of the Will is considered by many as the best propaganda film ever (and an intricate part of the Third Reich's propaganda machine), will be honored in the memorium segment of the Oscars next month.
The passing of Penny Singleton who's career spanned 87 years will not be mentioned at the telecast.
Before she was the voice of Jane Jetson her portrayal of Blondie in the movies was so popular it spawned 27 sequels! Name another performer who can match that (besides of course, her costar in those 28 films, Arthur Lake
)
The Academy can officially go fuck itself
if it does not change this before the telecast. I know a lot of people died this year, including some biggies who will get their own segments, but I can wait an extra 5 seconds for my already late news to come on for them to slap a quick pic of one of Americas most beloved movie characters ever up on the screen. Gee Penny, maybe if you die a better death next year you'll make it.
