They also ignored Irene Dunne when she died, even though she was a major star in the 30s and 40s. She was an anti-communist.Yes, but they also gave Elia Kazan a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999 and he "named names" to HUAC.
Joan Rivers wasn't snubbed for politics. She just wasn't particularly involved in movies. The Oscars took heat a few years back for leaving Farrah Fawcett off the "in memoriam" segment for the same reason.

Dunne was an Irish Catholic. Kazan was hooked up with the liberal community.

The Hollywood Reds sat on their hand as Elia Kazan got his award. And it is called HCUAA, not HUAC. Homofacists' UnAmerican Activities Continue. Have you looked at corporate 'murica lately???
If you don't tow the party line, you are out of work.
