Joan Rivers Fans Furious Over Oscars' In Memoriam Snub
www.today.com ^ | 2/23/2015 | Chris Serico


Viewers of Sunday night's Academy Awards ceremony weren't laughing when the In Memoriam tribute left out legendary comedian Joan Rivers.

Rivers, whose film credits include "Spaceballs," "Rabbit Test," and the documentary "A Piece of Work," passed away Sept. 4, but she wasn't included in the annual tribute to those Hollywood has lost in the previous year. This year's montage honored actor Robin Williams, actress Lauren Bacall, and director Mike Nichols, among others.

Entertainment journalists and fans spoke up on Rivers' behalf on Twitter, with many mocking the Academy's decision to recognize a marketing executive in the process.
