Joan Rivers was noticeably missing from the Oscars In Memoriam 2015 segment.
The comedienne — who passed away last September — was not only known for her fashion commentary, but she starred in over 20 films (including voicework in Spaceballs and Shrek 2), including with her award-winning documentary, A Piece of Work.
Earlier in the evening, Joan’s daughter and Fashion Police producer Melissa Rivers paid tribute to Joan Sunday in a special video on E!.
But The Academy overlooked Joan in their segment during the actual awards telecast. Joan’s celebrity fans were outraged. Check out their responses (below).

Why was @joanrivers cut out of the #Oscars ? Oversight or beef? And in other news #JohnLegend and #Common were perfect.
