Corey Haim Snubbed by Movie Industry Again

Corey Feldman and Corey HaimFirst, Corey Haim was left out of the In Memoriam segment at the SAG awards. Now, he’s been snubbed by the Oscars as well. Haim’s former bestie and most frequent co-star, Corey Feldman, has stepped forward to speak out against the slight.

“Corey’s films have earned the industry over a half a billion dollars, and his work remains an inspiration to young artists world wide,” Feldman ranted to TMZ. “Corey [Haim] dedicated his life to the film industry. The same industry that failed to dedicate even 30 seconds to his memory.”

Haim's face was missing from the In Memoriam shown during the 83rd Academy Awards, and for many fans the slight stings. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released a very tepid statement in response: “Whatever the length of the sequence, there will always be fans and family members of those not included who will be disappointed by their omission. The Academy extends its understanding and its apologies to those who missed seeing a favorite face in this year’s feature.”

Haim never had a public memorial service, either. Corey Haim was a 1980s film icon and the dream date of many a young girl during his Lost Boys golden era, but he declined into substance abuse and bad boy behavior that soon found him short on film roles.

Haim seemed on the brink of a comeback a few years ago when he began starring alongside friend Feldman on A&E’s The Two Coreys, but he struggled with documented drug abuse during taping and had a major meltdown on the set of The Lost Boys 2. Now, it seems that Corey’s death will pass with little more than a murmur from the Hollywood community.
