The “In Memoriam” montage at the 2015 Academy Awards did not include Joan Rivers, who died in September.
Rivers was a prominent face on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, conducting interviews during the pre-show since 1995. She also hosted Fashion Police on E! from 2010 until the time of her death. Rivers had an established career as a stand-up comedian, talk show host, documentarian, and guest star on reality and scripted television shows.
She also, for the Academy’s information, worked on multiple films: writing, directing, and starring in the 1978 comedy Rabbit Test, lending her voice to Shrek 2, and making a cameo in Iron Man 3.
Her absence in the segment was noticed.(buzzfeed)

I'm ashamed to say that I did not notice.
Rivers wasn't a member of the academy. The Memoriam bit covers members who died.
