There’s always debate over which films and performers went unappreciated on Oscars night, but snubbing performers from the Academy Awards’ annual In Memoriam segment — which simply requires dying between annual ceremonies — never goes over well with fans.
Arguably leading the list of omissions Sunday night was Charlbi Dean, who starred in the 2023 best picture nominee “Triangle of Sadness.” The 32-year-old performer from South Africa died in August after contracting a rare infection called capnocytophaga.
Also snubbed from the In Memoriam rundown was Anne Heche, who died the same month after a car crash. The 53-year-old “Donnie Brasco” actor famously dated comedian Ellen DeGeneres, who hosted the Oscars in 2007 and 2014.
