Joy Behar Slams Oscars for "Negligent" Actor Tribute Snub

Joy Behar expressed strong disapproval of the recent Academy Awards ceremony, labeling their tribute to the late actor Robert Duvall as "negligent" and disappointing. Behar questioned the omission of a more substantial tribute for the acclaimed American actor, who passed away on February 15th at the age of 95. She suggested that actors like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, or director Francis Ford Coppola should have been invited to speak about Duvall's legacy.

While Duvall was featured in the "In Memoriam" segment, Behar contended that this was insufficient given his significant contributions to cinema. The conversation also involved Jane Fonda's remarks about the Academy's choice to have Barbra Streisand honor Robert Redford. Fonda expressed that she had more to say about Redford, having made four films with him compared to Streisand's one, "The Way We Were." Behar, however, offered a different perspective, highlighting the exceptional impact of "The Way We Were."
