It was widely noticed and TWEETED on Sunday night that the annual Academy Awards “In Memorium” montage (which is obviously my favorite part of the entire ceremony. It’s like the red carpet of heaven!) blatantly left out Corey Haim. Boooo! Honestly, how are you going to do Corey Haim dirt like that? And it’s not as if the Oscars had so much better stuff going on this year. You could have applied a sixth-layer of Vaseline to Anne Hatahway’s teeth (KEEP SMILING) and honored Haim’s contribution to Hollywood’s wonderful legacy. Besides, Hollywood, YOU ARE THE ONES WHO DID THAT TO HIM. Show some respect. Well, Best Week Ever has. You can read their full tribute here, but I have included a touching synopsis below (because as much as I’m sure we all want to honor Corey Haim, we don’t want to spend TOO much time doing so, am I right you guys?! LOL?!)
Sorry that you caught such a raw deal, Corey. Even though you got snubbed by those pompous jerks who run AMPAS, you can look down from upon your killer afterlife manse knowing that there are thousands, if not MILLIONS, of us who will never forget your status as one of the dreamiest teen idols of all-time. Rest in peace, bro.
R.I.P. Corey Haim. You are in heaven now, doing speedballs and telling stories about what it used to be like doing speedballs in the ’80s with the angels and also with Jane Russell.

People who say “AMPAS” when they mean “Oscars” sound a little pompous jerky to me…
AMPAS is the group that presides over the Oscars.
And they sound like pompous jerks!
You’ll never get your EGAT with that attitude!
I tweeted on Sunday that they left the Human Torch out of the montage too.
I guess he burned just a little too brightly. Flame on, my friend. Flame on.

Technically, that’s a 2011 death.
And ever since Planetary, I’m verrry suspicious when I the 4 are around.
Where was Bieber?
DAMN YOU THOM YORKE!
More like ‘In Me-Corey-am.’
I tried, I really did, but I’m still REALLY tired. Morning!
Seems like the appeal of Corey Haim was totally LOST on the BOYS running the Oscars.
What makes you think it’s all boys running the Oscars? You took a real creative LICENSE TO DRIVE that one home, huh?
Well of course it’s run by men! You’d have to DREAM A LITTLE DREAM to think there are women in charge!
Hey, cut this out or I’ll kick your LUCAS.

As much as Corey Haim had some “difficulty” towards the end of his career, he really did have an incredible career in the 80′s and was in some awesome movies that I watched ALOT during my childhood/ tween years. I mean come on…. ‘Blown Away’?
Corey Haim definately had more of an impact on teenage Lizardo than any of those other jerks at the Oscars. I watched the Haim/Feldman movies more times than I would like to admit.
And whats with the double standards, Justin Beiber gets to go to the Oscars but no love for an old teen heart throb who actually acted?
I feel even worse for Corey Feldman, who knows that he’s definitely not getting any recognition when he dies now either…
So, he’ll die just like he lives, then.
I logged in just to cast the 13th upvote for you, which is famously known as “The Devil’s Upvote.” It’s widely believed that the person who casts the Devil’s Upvote will die within six months of cancer of the genitals. Please, if there’s a god, let the major symptom be “swelling.” My wife and I both beg you, God. Let the symptom be swelling.
Anyway, that’s how much I liked your post. I hope my last satisfying, swollen days on Earth are filled with more of the same!
Here are some words that rhyme with Corey: Gory. Story. Allegory. Montessori.
Winning.
Duh.
It’s weird to remember that a sweet, tender movie like “Lucas,” starred three future fuckups like Corey Ham, Winona Ryder, and Charlie Sheen.
Man, that Kerri Green must’ve been a REALLY bad influence.
I think it’s pronounced Cory “Hymie”…?
I’m not going to pretend like I ever had more than a passing recognition of The Coreys Haim and Feldman, since I was just a few years too young to really have crushes on them and by the time I knew who they were they were both weird-looking adults (also I kind of consider the two of them the same person, so like Cory Feldman is walking around with only half a soul now, which is weird and unfair). But I do know that if someone like JTT ever got shafted at the Oscars I’d be pissed off, so I’m behind this groundswell of support for him.
Yeah those Coreys were a bit before my time, THIS Corey on the other hand…
Makes me wonder how many Topangas we all know.
Man. Too quick with your topanga jokes, merry.
I don’t think we overlapped. Topanga jokes for everyone!
God. So innocent looking. Before Topenga ruined his fucking life forever.
Jake I’m pretty sure COREY ruined TOPANGA. Don’t worry, I’m no Topanga sympathizer or anything, I mean she was wayyy too hung up about him kissing that girl at the ski lodge (LET IT GO) but, she def chose to go to that fake Philly college instead of YALE for him.
What, no love?
I know! But like the people at the Oscar’s said, The Golden Girls were much beloved TV stars, not movies stars…so that wasn’t their place.
Just like Corey Haim’s place is the ‘In Memoriam’ reel at the Teen Choice awards.
Is the Oscars “In Memoriam” really an achievement? It’s like you were famous, now you’re dead, but the people who matter still like you, so…congratulations?!?
this was even sadder
