Robert Blake's Son Says Oscars Are Disrespectful For 'Memoriam' Omission
TMZ.com
Robert Blake being kicked 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 is also pissed that the death of his father be a fall.
Noah Blake tells TMZ... that people are allowed to have their own opinion about his father - which many obviously have - but he says that when it comes to a segment that's expected every year like the Oscars Memoriam, opinions shouldn't be a factor.
He also points out that his dad wasn't the only one who got kicked out... as you know, stars like Tom Sizemore, Anne Heche and Paul Sorvino were kicked out of the show. This is something that seems to happen every year, and Noah feels that once again it has not been handled well.

Noah also gave us his thoughts on Jimmy Kimmel's joke about whether or not to include Robert in the segment. Obviously, he found it in bad taste. He also says he landed flat because he wasn't sure if the "interactive part" was legit or just a gag.
For what it's worth, the audience laughed...it was clearly a gag.
He adds that he doesn't usually believe in "too soon" jokes, but points out the fine line Jimmy was walking on when he poked fun at the actor.
Noah tells us he'll be going live on Instagram at 5:30 p.m. PST on Tuesday to talk about his dad and his life.
