Anna Nicole -- Dissed in Death?

Anna Nicole SmithWith her killer resume packed with hit movies like "Naked Gun 33 1/3," "To the Limit" and of course, the cult classic "Wasabi Tuna," it was a complete shock when the late Anna Nicole Smith turned up missing from Oscar's annual morgue montage.

According to reps from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a final version of the deceased reel is cut and approved by Febuary 1, and there's only room for about 25 people (last year, more than 130 bought tickets to the big movie theatre in the sky). But what if, god forbid, Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg had kicked the bucket last week -- would they have made the clip reel?

Guess we'll have to tune in again next year to see if Anna makes the cut!

76. Please, surely we all know the difference between an actress and a mere celeb?

77. Well of course we all know the difference between an actress and a celeb - and Anna was more of a celeb than actress, but they mentioned composers and they aren't actors. Just thought she would be mentioned - that's all - just "mentioned" - not given an Oscar for God's sake!

78. Don't stress - Anna Nicole's secret "disease" will hit the front pages tomorrow. That gal didn't have to act. She was the real Grim Reaper!

79. Could it possibly be because she was not a "real" actress?? I saw two of her movies she was in and that did not qualify as acting. She was known for her body and drugged state. Period. No one can really refer to her as a serious actress.

81. It would have been nice if she was mentioned, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. They didn't show John Candy or Chris Farley did they? Some might not consider them 'real' actors but I loved them...they made me laugh.

Sadly, this is how many will remember her.

83. Yes, I thought the Academy should have included Anna this year. It doesn't matter whether or not you have ever won or been nominated for an Oscar. They include costume designers and technicians that most people have never heard of in the memorials. They better have Anna included next year!! No excuses!

84. First off shes no actress. The Oscars are for REAL ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. Why would shes be in there. Shes not even an icon. A radio deejay said it the best shes was the first one to become famous for being famous just like paris hilton. both have no talent but yet they are famous.

85. SOME of these fricking people have lost their damn minds! Diss???? ANS was not an actress,and she definately was not a "star". Acting like Marilyn Monroe, does not make you a Marilyn Monroe. The Academy is not going to recognize her in any way nor should they.
Now that she dead, people are trying to re-write history. She as a drug addicted hoe. The only reason anybody knows her name is because she married Marshall. Since when does the Academy acknowledge gold digger sluts,that are famous for being gold digger sluts. She was a model at one time,but she never even made Super Model status.
I understand she has fans,but Dayum! It is what it is. Stop trying to make her life seem more meaningful than it was. Is the entertainment world better for having ANS in it? Hell NO!
All you fans that are loking for her to be included in an honorary flm clip,should maybe stay tuned to the show "Pimps Up HOES Down". She is more likely to appear there than in any credible award show.
She was a damn joke in life. You all know it! She was publically made fun of at every event she attended. Weren't you fans watching?
Yeah right,wait for "next" year awards show and see if she is included. LOL!LOL!LOL! I suggest you do something a little more meaningful with your time. Because that's not going to ever happen! Ever!

86. LOL!LOL! maybe HKS can submit some of her "porno" tapes to the Academy for their consideration. LOL!LOL!LOL!
The "clown" one may also get their attention. LOL!LOL!

87. 70. #13 Bonnie (Stern?) You are an embarrassment to society!!
It would have taken the Academy 15 seconds to acknowledge Anna. I know she wasn't a "MOVIE STAR", but it would have been in extremely high taste for them to do so. I betcha she would have had a standing ovation. Not for her performances, but her love of Hollywood, the limelight, Marilyn, and her desire to be one of them. That is all she really wanted in life. TO BE ONE of THEM.

LOL@70....Have you been sipping the Methadone? WHO was going to give her a standing ovation???? You need to snap back to reality. The Academy exercised Good Taste by not including her. She wanted to be One of them,but she NEVER,EVER was one of them.
Since when does The Academy recognize people their "Love" of Hollywood,The Limelight and Marilyn?
You sound mentally challenged.
