Where was Don Knotts???????

[powellrj]

Ok, so "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" wasn't an Oscar worthy movie, but still they could have put his picture up with the other actors who died this year!

 

[MAKmom]

Don Knotts Died in 2006, they were showing 2005.

 

[Beth76]

I thought they would show those who died since the last awards show.

 

[HeatherinNC]

I was a little shocked by this, as well. It was a HUGE omission.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yeah--I thought it was from show to show.

 

[Stacerita]

Don Knotts Died in 2006, they were showing 2005.

This is why I thought they left him out. The show is for the year 2005, not 2006. I assume they have all the clips done long before the show goes on and his passing was a week ago.

 

[MAKmom]

Year to year for everything.

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

I assumed that they wouldnt' have time to add it, the montage probably needed to be finished before he even died.

 

[Mom2Angels]

They showed Chris Pean and he died this year. They also didn't show the other two who died at the same as Don Knotts either.

Sorry I changed it to CHRIS!

They showed Sean Pean and he died this year. They also didn't show the other two who died at the same as Don Knotts either.

Sean Penn died?

 

[Michelina]

I think it was Chris Penn.

Chris Penn--and he passed about a week before Don Knotts--time is not an issue..they have an infinite amount of resources. With a week remaining to the show, they could have gotten footage.

Very weird.

 

[2bemarried]

Sean Penn died?

No...Chris Penn...his brother died.

 

[buckylarue]

Yes, no Don Knotts, Dennis Weaver or Darren McGavin...

 

[CPM]

yes, there were a few missing from that group according to my DH. Maybe there was some sort of cut off date. I'm sure he'll be announced next year.

 

[WaltD4Me]

And no John Spencer! (from The West Wing) Granted he was more of a TV star, but he was in movies too. I was shocked they didn't show him, Don Knotts, Darren Mc Gavin or Dennis Weaver, but did show alot of producers, make-up artists, choreographers, ect......not that those people don't deserve to be honored, but so did the actors they left out. I don't get it.

 

[CPM]

I'm watching ET now. How ironic they have a tribute to Don Knotts on!

 

[MAKmom]

Chris Penn--and he passed about a week before Don Knotts--time is not an issue..they have an infinite amount of resources. With a week remaining to the show, they could have gotten footage.

Very weird.

That was weird they had Chris Penn, he died in Jan 06. I thought Oscar ran year to year. Maybe someone pulled some strings. Did'nt Sean Penn win last year?

 

[phorsenuf]

According the Academy Award website the cutoff date is February 1st. Everyone after that will be shown on next years show.

Very weird.

Christ Penn died January 24, and Don Knotts died February 24, so there was a month inbetween, I think Don Knotts, Dennis Weaver and the other gentleman who died this same weekend will be shown on next years awards.
