Brad Snubbed In Oscar Tribute

Red faces at the Oscars HQ today after organisers missed Brad Renfro of the “Stars We Lost This Year” presentation.
 
The former child star, whose high-profile movie credits include The Client and Apt Pupil, died from of an accidental heroin overdose on January 15.

He was 25-years-old.

The traditional montage featured remembrances of 43 actors, filmmakers, writers, technicians, studio suits and other insiders - some of whom virtually unknown to the general public.
 
The Academy ended the tribute with an image of Heath Ledger, the onetime Oscar nominee for Brokeback Mountain, who was found dead from an accidental prescription drug overdose exactly one week after Brad's passing.

Coincidentally, nearly a decade ago, Brad auditioned to play Mel Gibson's son in The Patriot, the role which launched Heath's career.
