getting left out of the Oscars"In Memoriam" tribute was a big mistake on The Academy's part -- at least, according to the late actor's son, who's also pissed his dad's death was a punchline.tells TMZ ...
people are allowed to have their own opinion about his father -- which obviously many have -- but he says when it comes to an annually anticipated segment like the Oscars Memoriam, opinions shouldn't be a factor.
Tip: don’t murder your wife
I would argue that having his wife killed was way more disrespectful.
True

Nobody cares about Robert Blake and leaving him out. He isn’t a big deal at all! I guess one OJ finally kicked the bucket they’ll be people complaining about him being left off.
Go cry a river, dude was a savage monster
There were many others left out also.
... Don't worry show biz is ignorant I think Robert Blake had everyone's number. The Man gave entertainment from the cradle and yet Hollywood turned a blind eye to one of its own. That's Phony. I give Hollywood the middle finger.
Kimmel mentioned it, though.
Harold Ramis was left out in memoriam in the 2014 Oscars, having passed only days before. Get over it.
So many people were left out. Shocking.
He should have been in the tribute. He WAS found not guilty, and his work in the Little Rascal movies and especially 'In Cold Blood' has stood the test of time.
His pops was a scumbag
Not a Blake fan, however I do think that joke was in poor taste.
He probably got away with murder. Maybe not call attention to your father's murder.
They left out far more deserving people than a has-been who murdered his wife… 🤷🏼♀️
Seems they think everything is a joke or should be joked about. The Bible states: The tongue is sharper than a two edged sword and can pierce the bone and the marrow, even the soul.
Meh, they left out Anne Heche, Paul Sorvino, and Tom Sizemore.
Murders son says what?
They won’t add oj Simpson when he dies either…
The more glaring omissions was Paul Sorvino and Tom Sizemore. They're not going to put a murderer up on that screen.

He is a murderer he doesn’t deserve mention. I knew the guy he called and tried to place the hit on her.
Tasteless.
Um
It was appalling what Jimmie Kimmel said about Robert Blake. He should have been mentioned. 😡😡😡😡
Terrible
Your dad, the convicted murderer?
I feel for the son..I really do..but when someone is accused/found guilty of things like his father was..honoring him in that way just seems like a slap in the face to the families who he’s hurt..to me… I hope the son understands both sides..at the same time..someday…
He has a point. Innocent till proven guilty He wasn't contrary to popular opinion. The Academy shouldn't editorialize as many stars like Kirk Douglas have questionable pasts and were in the memoriam.
Do we expect OJ to be in memoriam when he passes? I mean he did a few movies. I don’t think he will. For the same reason Blake was omitted. Not a good look for the academy.
Newsflash: OJ Simpson also won't be included when he dies. That murder thing kinda negates anything your Dad did, Sir
