Suzanne Somers, Angus Cloud and more late artists and celebrities were left out of the Oscars In Memoriam segment.
The Academy Awards held its 2024 ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 10, and welcomed artists and performers from across the globe to honor them. The event also proceeded with its annual In Memoriam segment, which reportedly snubbed several stars.
Oscars' In Memoriam 2024 Snub: Who Did Not Make It to the List?
Oscars created the In Memoriam segment to remember the stars the world lost over the past year. However, viewers who watched the telecast noticed that some celebrities were left out of the main segment when it showed one collective slide.
People noted that the names of Suzanne Somers, Burt Young, Lance Reddic, Ron Cephas Jones, Treat Williams, Norman Lear, Angus Cloud and Terence Davies did not make it to the list.
Fans and viewers took their queries to X and slammed the Oscars for not presenting other celebrities in the segment.
One said, "the oscars in memoriam is weird this year."
"I may be old-fashioned, but I preferred it when the In Memoriam was about the people who died and not about the singing and the dancing," one commented.
"The In Memoriam section at tonight's #Oscars was so badly photographed that we at home couldn't see or read the pictures or names of the dearly departed. A shame, cos the dance & song were lovely," another added.

Somers died in October 2023 after her lengthy battle against cancer. The Three's Company star died at the age of 76.
After the ceremony, Somers' husband, Alan Hamel, issued a statement to People to respond to the Academy Awards. He said he respected the Oscars' decision not to include the "Let's Work It Out" singer.
"She adored and respected her fans and similarly enjoyed a beautiful relationship with the media and paparazzi who elevated her career to heights rarely seen," Hamel continued. "She debuted on Carson in 1973 with her first of 27 books and remained active and relevant until her passing. God bless Suzanne Somers."
The Academy Awards has yet to respond to the backlash.
