The Academy Awards paid tribute to many famous faces who passed on over the last year with its In Memoriam segment on Sunday night, but at least three notable names were omitted from the list: Luke Perry, Sid Haig, Tim Conway and Cameron Boyce.
Recently deceased legends Kobe Bryant, who died Jan. 26, and Kirk Douglas, who passed on Feb. 5, did make it into the 2020 Oscars’ slideshow honoring the deceased, which was accompanied by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s performance of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” at the Dolby Theater.
Other noteworthy stars in the 92nd Annual Academy Awards In Memoriam segment included Doris Day, John Singleton, Peter Mayhew, Agnes Varda, D. A. Pennebaker, Peter Fonda, Diahann Caroll, Rip Torn, Robert Forster and John Witherspoon, among many more. You can watch the tribute via the video above.
The Academy did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on the exclusions of Perry, Haig and Boyce from the segment. The three are included in the Oscars’ online gallery, which you can view here.
