Many fans were left quite upset at The Academy for not including Cameron Boyce and Luke Perry during the “In Memoriam” segment at the 2020 Oscars.
Both actors passed away suddenly last year, and Luke was even in one of this year’s nominated films, Once Upon a Time In… Hollywood.
“The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars In Memoriam segment,” The Academy said in a statement to E! News. “An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes selections for the telecast based on limited available time. All the submissions are included on Oscar.com and will remain on the site throughout the year. Luke Perry and Cameron Boyce are remembered in the Oscar.com gallery.”

“Guys, I love Eminem but like, even the hip hop moment at the Oscars is white? I just… 🤷🏽♀️,” Chrissie Fit wrote on her Twitter.
“Not a racist, Joey. Just VERY into equality and representation. The reason why that was uncomfortable to see is because POC are underrepresented at the Oscars and because of the origins of hip hop,” she added in response to someone’s reply to her. “Oh, and I’ll take your mean words as motivation! Thanks 😘”
