For this purpose, the dead were shown in short overlays. David Lynch was presented in the part – for many, however, this type of appreciation was not sufficient.

In addition, it also said on the social platform: “David Lynch literally changed the cinema, and that’s all that they give it” and “they should have done more for David Lynch”.

The Academy caught further criticism for giving them some deceased industry sizes in the segment. For example, “Buffy” star Michelle Trachtenberg and actor and producer Alain Delon.
