Academy Award-winning actor says ‘it is baffling beyond belief’ that Paul Sorvino was excluded along with several others
Sorvino, an Academy Award-winning actor, shared a clip of her father’s tearful reaction to her win, for her performance in the 1995 film Mighty Aphrodite. Having shared the footage on Instagram before theceremony began, she later edited the caption to say she had learned he had not been included in the show’s annual in memoriam section, along with “several other incredible artists”.
“Incredibly hurt and shocked that my father’s lifelong, irreplaceable, enormous contribution to the world of cinema was overlooked by whomever made that list,” she wrote. “We his adoring family, and you, his adoring public, know just how unique and incredible he was. We hope [the Academy] does something to put this right.
“It’s a three-hour show, they can’t give a couple more minutes to get it right? Paul Sorvino gave decades to this industry and was loved by all. Paul was not the only deserving soul left out, and a QR Code is not acceptable,” she said.The Academy has been criticised for including certain actors and film industry figures in the televised segment, while relegating others to a website that could be accessed via a dedicated QR code promoted during the broadcast.
