RYAN O'NEAL 'STUNNED' AT OSCARS FARRAH SNUB: Ryan O'Neal joins legions of fans who were upset at Farrah Fawcett's exclusion from the "In Memoriam" segment at the Oscars. The late actress's partner told RadarOnline.com, "It was a terrible decision and very hurtful -- Farrah was a member of the Academy for over 40 years and we could not believe she did not get a mention...Quite frankly, we were stunned at the decision not to include her in the tribute and I feel that the Academy should be scolded for that, everyone was shocked." The Academy of Arts and Sciences is not apologizing for leaving the Charlie's Angels star out, explaining, "I would not say that it was an oversight . . . No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who just simply can't be."
