Oops...MIke beat me to it. Acknowledged....
How in the world do they not mention that? Because they don't really know what they're writing about...and they do about one minute of research...before writing a 12-line "article"....

Reading this knocked the wind out of me...Ray Liotta got his start on ANOTHER WORLD and then the movies came a-callin'...GOODFELLAS is probably the most notable but My All-Time Favorite Film Ray starred in was an independent film with Jamie Lee Curtis, Todd Graff and Tom Hulce, 1988's DOMINICK & EUGENE. If I had my way, Ray and Tom would have won Oscars and DOMINICK & EUGENE would have won Best Picture [instead of that drecky "Rain Man," was it? Oh, well...] but that's just me...I loved Ray Liotta [his blue eyes were like looking into a beautiful painting; {sigh}] All my love to Karsen & Jacy....xoxo Your dad and fiance was one-of-a-kind...Much love & many hugs to you both, Ali Black xoxo

Or even a "posthumous"....with an H. For Henry Hill. But I disagree. You can't just give EVERYBODY an award because they die young. Liotta was terrific in many things...but many actors have done much more, and better work and not been recognized. Not everybody gets a trophy...

Maybe he will get a "postumus " academy award. He deserves the recognition for his life's work.

I'm now thinking of Anthony Hopkins eating half of Ray's brain right now...
