Each year, the Academy honors members of the film industry who have died over the past year.
From James Horner to Alan Rickman, there was no shortage of losses, but there was one actor who was totally forgotten about during the annual tribute.
Abe Vigoda, a character actor best known for his role in "The Godfather" who died in his sleep in January 2016 at the age of 94, was nowhere to be found during the emotional slideshow.
On Twitter, people were quick to point out the oversight.
Wait… did they forget Abe Vigoda?! Or did I miss it? #Oscarspic.twitter.com/0BXBrD1iRF

You know you're at a cool Oscar party when two people shout out "What about Abe Vigoda?!?" after the In Memoriam section ends.

I can't believe the Oscar's forgot Abe Vigoda in their tribute! He was a legend. #Oscars

Seriously though. Abe Vigoda's death was falsely reported for years. He lived a full life and then doesn't get any recognition #InMemoriam

Can't believe they left out #AbeVigoda - In Memoriam #AcademyAwards.

Did no one tell the Academy that Abe Vigoda finally died?
