OSCARS viewers were shocked by various glaring omissions during the 2024 In Memorium segment.
Sunday night’s odd tribute included multiple snubs, like Euphoria actor Angus Cloud and Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball Z.
The segment was helmed by the Bocelli brothers, who sang their famed Opera song, Por Ti Volare, accompanied by a fleet of dancers.
As always, various names appeared, including Matthew Perry and Exorcist director William Freidkin.
However, fans spotted that multiple names did not appear and took to social media in an uproar.
Lance Reddick, who had an iconic turn in John Wick, also did not seem to make the list.
‘HOW COULD YOU FORGET!?’
“I think Angus Cloud from Euphoria was missing from the “in memory,” one X user wrote.
“RIP Angus Cloud because #Oscars2024 dont give a f**k about him,” wrote another.
A third wrote: “Akira Toriyama not in the In Memoriam. Too soon I guess.
And: “In Memoriam of Akira Toriyama… How could you forget?”
Fans of his posted: “Am I tripping or was Lance Reddick not in there?”
‘DISTRACTING’
Other fans were up in arms because the entire proceedings were swarmed by choreographed dancers while the actual screen showing the late stars seemed to take a backseat.
In addition, the segment ended with the screen showing dozens of names at once instead of one by one.
“The #Oscars2024 Really needs to fix the In Memorium. No one cares about the singers and the dancers, we want to be able to see and read the names and faces on the freaking screen,” another fan wrote.
And: “This memorium is extremely distracting with all of the dancers. And you can barely read the names. #Oscars2024.”
A third bashed: “Again, In Memorium is NOT the time to have choreographed dances pulling your eyes away from those lost.
And: “This “In Memorium” is horribly done! The camera is too far away & the dancers are very distracting.”
Another simply put it: “In Memorium screen is too small #Oscars #Oscars2024.”
A fifth called it: “Probably the most disrespectful in memorium EVER!
