Tori Spelling is speaking out against the Oscars and a few of their high-profile 'In Memoriam' omissions over the years.
to decry the omissions, writing,"Also missing from the in Memoriam is Sid Haig, Tim Conway, Michael J Pollard, Jan Michael Vincent and Cameron Boyce. Not to mention the 2007 snub of the great Aaron Spelling. Got an explanation for us @theacademyawards.oscars @theoscars2020."
This year's"In Memoriam" honored many of the stars who have passed since last year's ceremony -- including Kirk Douglas, Kobe Bryant, Peter Fonda and Stanley Donen, among many others -- with a touching segmenton Tuesday addressing the omissions, and directed those who were offended to the organization's website, where they feature a more comprehensive tribute.
"The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars In Memoriam segment," the statement explained."An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes selections for the telecast based on limited available time. All of the submissions are included on Oscar.com and will remain on the site throughout the year.
One thing that makes Perry's omission all the more glaring, however, is the fact that his final film role - released after his death - was in, which was nominated for 10 Oscars this year, including Best Picture.This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.
