People Are Pissed That Joan Rivers Was Not Included In The Oscars “In Memoriam”

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.
