The 93rd Academy Awards are facing backlash after omitting some key names in entertainment from its "In Memoriam" segment on Sunday.  As with most awards shows, the Oscars took a break from issuing trophies to this year’s biggest stars and creatives in film to honor those who died since last year’s show. While key names such as Christopher Plummer, Sean Connery and 2021 Oscar nominee Chadwick Boseman were included, many took to Twitter to note that Jessica Walter and Naya Rivera were unceremoniously omitted from the list.  Rivera died in July at age 33 in an accidental drowning incident while boating with her young son.

Jessica Walter, Naya Rivera and Adam Schlesinger were not included in the “in memoriam” segment. Airing as part of Sunday (25 April) night’s awards ceremony, the annual commemoration of those lost from the world of film included stars such as Cicely Tyson and Sean Connery.
