oscars tribute to dead actors 2023
Some eagle-eyed viewers couldn't help but notice that some big names were left out of the in memoriam tribute during the Oscars broadcast on March 12.
Before the segment began, John Travolta gave a brief introduction and a nod to his "Grease" co-star and friend, Olivia Newton-John, who died in August at age 73. Lenny Kravitz then performed the song "Calling All Angels."
The tribute paid homage to a number of stars, including Newton-John, Ray Liotta, Kirstie Alley, Robbie Coltrane and others. But the segment left some viewers wanting more.

The "Too Close for Comfort" star then listed a few names that she noticed were missing, including Paul Sorvino, who died in July at age 83; Anne Heche, who died at age 53 in August from injuries sustained in a car crash; and Tom Sizemore, who died earlier this month at age 61, days after suffering a brain aneurysm.
“Paul Sorvino was one of the greatest actors in cinematic history in Hollywood. It is unconscionable that he would be left out of the 'IN MEMORIAM' segment of the Oscars. It’s a three-hour show, they can’t give a couple more minutes to get it right?" she said.
During Kravitz's performance, viewers were able to scan a QR code that linked out to a more robust online list of actors who died over the last year. The list includes Paul Sorvino, Heche and Sizemore, among others.

Dee Dee Sorvino, who said her husband was "loved by all, " argued that the names listed online should also have been shared during the on-air segment.
"Paul was not the only deserving soul left out, and a QR Code is not acceptable. The Academy needs to issue an apology, admit the mistake and do better. Paul Sorvino deserves better, the audience deserves better, is the Academy so jaded they forget people who are loved, who have given their hearts to this industry? Shame on the Academy if this is not corrected. Mistakes are made, this was a big one. Please do something to make it right, ” she said.
"It is baffling beyond belief that my beloved father and many other amazing brilliant departed actors were left out. The Oscars forgot about Paul Sorvino, but the rest of us never will!!" she wrote.
