Oscars 2024: In Memoriam

Why does the Oscars continually screw up the In Memoriam tribute up? No one wants to see dancers obstructing the views on those that died the past year. It's also not the time for a musical piece that includes lyrics. What's needed is a full screen showing those that we lost with some background music that doesn't dominate those that are being honored.

To the Academy, for the love of the people you want your program to be the biggest thing on TV, please give us a subdued and respectful segment of remembrance where the people who you are honoring be present overall and leave the performances to any other part of the show.

Van Gogh's 1888 The Pink Orchard, while art became a celebratory inclusion through ballet sequence in Paris's high society, then brushed aside for many years by critics before an ensemble of artists and composers gave the merit to Van Gogh's recognition to the orchard's significance to existence despite the initialization opting for a clouded vision.

This memorian was so bad, you could barely read the names and why did the camera always drift away from the screen? Also why did they use this photo of Matthew Perry? To be honest, I found using this photo disrespectful. This photo of him is from one of the darkest times in his life. This photo is from when he was in the movie "Fools rush in", when filming that movie Matthew was going through a rabbit hole to 55 vicodin pills a day. I know Matthew struggled a lot in his life and he was never perfectly healthy, but still there are thousands of photos out there of him where looks much more healthy that they could have used. Unfortunatly I don't know many others they paid tribute to, so I can't really tell if they disrespected others as well with bad photos, but I sure hope they did not.

[@martinplatts6922]

Good question for the ages you ask here. Is ballet dancing? Modern dance started in the 20th century as a reaction to ballet, which was more restrictive. It sought more freedom in the techniques, for instance, using gravity and connecting with the floor, not just staying on their feet. The moves are weighted while ballet floats.
Ballet is the foundation for all styles of dance! It may seem unbelievable that learning ballet can be helpful for a hip-hop or tap dancer, but the skill and technique acquired during ballet class are beneficial for all dance styles! Ballet also formulates a humanity expressionism through grace and movement. The ballet dancer puts all three expressions together while we mortals cry, laugh, or sing.

Such mixes then take what we assume is the correct balance of a subject and place intermittent cultural outlays that change the concluded perspective. Western influences that lead to a beginning and an end can no longer participate in a finality. Indian and Korean films have become a part of that viewership. These are fine examples. No Sir! Global audiences are interested, though I have made the mistake of not making my estimate go far enough. Bob Dylan once said, 'The Times They are a Changing.'

I hate they used this photo of him. This photo is from when he was in the movie Fools rush in. During that time he was going through a rabbit hole to 55 vicodin pills a day. This was the one of darkest times of his life. I know he struggled a lot and was never perfectly healthy, but I know for a fact there are thousands of photos out there that they could have used, where he looks much more healthy.

[@elizabethalbury9689]

Nah- they didn't put her in last year on the televised version. Despite being a musician and notable personality - even if she helped as a consultant to the hit film "Elvis" before her untimely passing, this particular Academy tends to honor actors / actresses or more prominent producers in The In Memoriam Section.

Swan Lake. As one of the most well-known ballets worldwide, it may come as a surprise to learn that it flopped right when it was released. ...
Now here's a parallel to your comments.

[@erniehudson1]

@@martinplatts6922 you don't get that it is about remembering those who we lost. So how can one remember anyone if you even don't know who you are supposed to remember since dancers are blocking the view and the camera view looks like filmed by the Hubble Telescope?!!!? I couldn't read a lot of names let alone recognize the people we were suppose to honor. We should once whoever directed this, once he or she is dead, honor the person by jumping around the priest not allowing him to give a moving speech and then just twerk in front of the grave, so no one can even read the name on the gravestone.

My gosh, this was unbelievably bad. The focus was not on those who passed, - rather it seemed to focus on dancers, the orchestra, and on the presentation of the song. I could hardly see the videos or names of those they intended to honor. Also, what's with this clip ABC? Why did you leave the orchestra sounds in but cut out the voices of the actors you showed (like Ryan O'Neal and others) and why do we have to go to Andrea Bocelli's RUclips account if we want to hear them sing? Very disrespectful tribute all around.
