Each year, the Oscars succeed in offending the fans of several actors or actresses, unfairly forgotten from the In Memoriam section, which pays tribute to those who died in the course of the preceding year.
And if the 2021 ceremony was considered, in general, rather successful in terms of diversity, with the triumph of Chloe Zhao and her
Nomadland
, it was no exception to the rule and drew the wrath of many Internet users when it we had to salute the memory of the missing.
In addition to the frantic pace of the editing (set to music with the track
As
, by Stevie Wonder, deemed too fast), several stars have been omitted.
This is the case of Adam Schlesinger, the singer of
Fountains of Wayne
, who died of Covid-19 last year, nominated for the Oscars in 1997 for the award for Best Song, and yet ignored by the Academy.
Same fate for Jessica Walter, Nick Cordero, or Naya Rivera.
The latter, who died last summer after drowning in a Californian lake, was rather noticed on television with
Glee
but had several cinema credits to her credit.
Scandal
On Twitter, many Internet users did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction.
"I know she wasn't really in movies, but she should have been in the In Memoriam sequence," posted one user, while another let out her anger: "I'm sorry, but I'm still upset and disgusted by this story.
How to forget a celebrity who died at the biggest awards ceremony?
You have a job to do to remember all the people in the industry.
It is awful and heartbreaking.
"
The Academy did not react to the controversy.
