I loved Harold Ramis :) I loved him from "As Good as it gets"- like a cuddly Bear. I picked my worst dressed- Reese Witherspoon. Ribbon straps over floppy Boobs :(
Me too, ranjake. I loved him even back in Stripes. Was that the first movie he and Bill Murray did together?

He was part of Meatballs, Caddyshack and Stripes, but only acted in Stripes, he co-wrote the others. Apparently he and Bill Murray were in a huge feud, but only made up within a few years of Ramis's death.

Here is who was left off the In Memoriam (I get that Cory Monteith was left off, he wasn't a film actor. But others??

Midnight Rider crew member Sarah Jones, who was only mentioned in a banner at the end of Bette Midler's performance, director Alain Resnais, who died early Sunday, actors Cory Monteith, James Avery, Dennis Farina, Jonathan Winters, Lee Thompson Young, and many others, including:

Directors Bryan Forbes ("Seance on a Wet Afternoon," "The Stepford Wives"), Antonia Bird ("Ravenous"), and Juan Jose Bigas Luna ("Jamon, Jamon"); producers Harvey Bernhard ("The Omen") and James Jacks ("The Mummy"); screenwriters Mike Gray (an Oscar-nominee for "The China Syndrome") and Vincenzo Cerami (Oscar-nominee for "Life is Beautiful"); and author Tom Clancy (whose numerous bestselling novels inspired numerous blockbuster movies).

Also: editors William T. Cartwright ("Four Days in November") and two-time Oscar-nominee Frank E. Morriss ("Romancing the Stone," "Blue Thunder"); costume designer Ha Nguyen ("The Mask"); publicists Julian Myers and Eddie Michaels, and animators Michael Sporn (an Oscar-winner for "Doctor DeSoto") and John David Wilson ("Gerald McBoing Boing").

1939 was such an amazing year for movies, yet the Academy only chose to celebrate The Wizard of Oz. Promoting the ABC/Disney Once Upon A Time + spinoff series? Not wanting to mention Gone With The Wind because of 12 Years A Slave?

Still, Stagecoach, Wuthering Heights, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Goodbye Mr. Chips, The Women, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Of Mice and Men, Gunga Din, and others all celebrated a 75th anniversary this year.

I really loved Ellen as host. It had the feel of the old-time party of the Oscars, she really involved the audience (stars) that we are watching to see, and they seemed more relaxed and themselves, when not dodging barbs and insults couched as "jokes" on their big night. In the beginning I thought it was kind of low key and slow, but, like a good home cooked meal, rather than a "dining experience" in an edgy restaurant, it ended up being very nice.

I thought I heard that they had a falling out during Groundhog Day. Harold Ramis was directing? And Bill Murray refused to talk to him after that.

As much as I love Bill Murray in films and on the golf course, I could see him being a douche in real life.

He is reputed to be "difficult. "

I liked ellen, but her "joke" to Liza was really cruel.

This is so cute.

The pizza guy gets his tip, and he was for real, in shock.

I'm thinking that Shirley Temple was a bigger star than Fontaine, O'Toole and PSH. I think she was the highest grossing star of the 30's. She definitely deserved something special. And maybe they could have drug out Olivia deHaviland for a Joan Fontaine word or too, although she's probably too old. And of course she didn't speak to Joan for a hundred years or so.

They really need to come up with a better way to do the In Memorium. Every year people are left out and every year the order of commemoration is questioned. In the amount of time it took Bette to sing Wind Beneath My Wings, they could have included all the folks that Finestra listed above. Include everyone who has had a significant movie career, list them in alphabetical order and be done with it. To the family members of the deceased, their loved ones life was just as important as anyone else. If people are bored or don't want to watch, they can use that time as a bathroom break.
Or take a page from TCM who always does a very touching tribute every year.

What did you think about Harold Ramis and Bill Murray doing that before announcing the winner.
LOVED IT

I think they had a falling out but perhaps that had passed and she is too old

Cory was not a film actor at all and had that absurd Emmy thing for him leaving Jack Klugman out totally. Ugh

Yes they should have put in many of the people you mentioned. I didn't even know some of them died. Ralph Waite will be in the Emmy's this year and Jean Stapleton oh and Russell - they were more tv stars althouth started in movies. As I said it was short and sucked.

I think Olivia DH is close to 100- 94 or so, and lives in France? The feud had to do with their Mom- I think she favored Olivia and a bunch of other things. I loved them both. "the Heiress" and "Rebecca" are two of my favorite films.

Still can't decide whether to rent on demand "12 years". "Philomena", "American Hustle", or "Dallas Buyers Club"- but I think I'm leaning toward "Philomena" because I'm fascinated by the legacy of the Magdalene laundries.
