#Oscars In Memoriam Tribute, Now With Fake News and Omissions! [VIDEO]

#Oscars In Memoriam Tribute, Now With Fake News and Omissions! [VIDEO]

Back in December, someone on Twitter had a brilliant idea. But because it was a brilliant idea, the Academy Awards had no interest in listening to it.


The Oscars “In Memoriam” tribute is reserved for only the most iconic-ish actors and actresses who have passed away over the last year, and a large handful of industry workers (read: union). The Academy claims they want to make it brief. How about just making it relevant, because 2016 was a bad year to be a celebrity, and people actually CARED about the passing of many of them?

Or at least, put the right people on the screen!

Oooops… that’s not Janet Patterson.

An Australian film producer has a message for those who noticed her in the in memoriam montage in the Academy Awards on Sunday night: She is alive and well.

The image of the producer, Jan Chapman, was mistakenly shown in the segment, which honors members of the movie industry who have died, in a tribute for Janet Patterson, an Australian costume designer. Ms. Patterson, who had been nominated for an Oscar four times, died in October. Ms. Chapman is not dead.

What makes this worse is that Chapman was a friend of Ms. Patterson’s, and actually warned about this happening!
