This year’s Oscars were presented in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. The German film “Nothing New in the West” was able to scoop four of the coveted trophies, here is an overview of all the winners. There were also numerous musical performances. A sad and necessary tradition at the awards ceremony is to commemorate the deceased actors and filmmakers every year.

This year the list was again far too long, in recent months Olivia Newton-John, Angela Lansbury, Ray Liotta, Jean-Luc Godard, Irene Cara, Kirstie Alley, Raquel Welch, Nichelle Nichols, Burt Bacharach and Vangelis have died . Their images, along with about 200 others, were featured in Sunday’s John Travolta-hosted “In Memoriam” segment, which was accompanied by a live performance by Lenny Kravitz playing the song “Calling All Angels.” Watch a video of the segment here:

Numerous viewers found out straight away via Twitter that this long list was anything but complete. Unnamed “Snubs” include Charlbi Dean, lead actress from “Triangle Of Sadness”, who died suddenly at the age of 32, Anne Heche, who died after a car accident in August, Paul Sorvino ( “Goodfellas”) and Tom Sizemore, who became known in his long career for a role in “Saving Private Ryan”. The reasons for their absence are partly unknown; But Sizemore, for example, died in early March 2023 and the list probably only includes those who died in the previous year.

Host Jimmy Kimmel previously asked those in attendance if Robert Blake should have been part of the “In Memoriam” segment. Blake died a few days earlier in Los Angeles at the age of 89. He won an Emmy for “Baretta” and has appeared in films such as “In Cold Blood” and “Lost Highway”. His career ended in 2001 when he was charged with the murder of his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakely. Blake was acquitted.
