She added,"My first and best teacher, my beloved Daddy who came to all the school plays and loved from the bottom of his heart, the brilliant thespian whom all his colleagues revered as one of the greatest, to get to give back to him what he had been giving me all my life- love and belief and admiration and gratitude. On this first year after his passing it is truly a bittersweet but beautiful memory. I love you Dad, I miss you so much.
Meanwhile, the"Romy and Michele's High School" reunion star later updated her caption after he discovered her father was left out of the Oscars In Memoriam segment. "****PS when I posted this I had not learned of Dad's omission and that of several other incredible artists from the in Memoriam section," Mira said."Incredibly hurt and shocked that my father's lifelong, irreplaceable, enormous contribution to the world of cinema was overlooked by whomever made that list. We his adoring family, and you, his adoring public, know just how unique and incredible he was.
."It's a three-hour show, they can't give a couple more minutes to get it right? Paul Sorvino gave decades to this industry and was loved by all.""Paul was not the only deserving soul left out, and a QR Code is not acceptable," she said."The Academy needs to issue an apology, admit the mistake and do better. Paul Sorvino deserves better, the audience deserves better.
"Shame on the Academy if this is not corrected," she added."Mistakes are made, this was a big one. Please do something to make it right."
