But it wasn’t just the Riverdale star who was left out of the In Memoriam, which made sure to pay tribute to Kobe and Kirk. (via toofab)
Eilish was joined by her brother and musical collaborator Finneas for the segment, where they took on The Beatles' classic "Yesterday." And over her signature vocals, which fit the somber moment beautifully, the first image that appeared was that of Bryant holding up his Oscar.
The touching segment was punctuated with an image of Kirk Douglas, the legendary actor who passed away just four days prior to the ceremony at 103 years old. An icon of the film industry, Douglas has appeared on the stage in recent years alongside his son Michael Douglas.But while the Academy made time for these notable stars, along with many others, it was one glaring omission that left social media fuming.
There are many possibilities as to why Perry was excluded from the segment, from it being a simple error to the Academy having to make tough decisions every year on who to cut based on time. Another one that got fans riled up was Cameron Boyce, best known on the big screen for the "Grown Ups" films, who died tragically at 20 years old.
