Why Brad Renfro was cut out of the Oscar tribute montage

Why was late actor Brad Renfro cut from the video tribute at Sunday’s Oscars?
“It was really an editing decision because we can’t fit everyone in,” a rep for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said. “There was no specific reason.”
The montage featured footage of late actors, including Heath Ledger, who passed away a week after Renfro.
Renfro died of a heroin overdose in his L.A. home January 15th.
The actor made his big film debut, opposite Susan Sarandon, in 1994’s The Client. His film credits include Sleepers, Apt Pupil and the acclaimed independent film Ghost World.
What do you think? I know that I only recognized a few of the names, but afterwards, I knew that Brad was missing from the montage. What a disservice to his career!
