Oscars 2022: Lata Mangeshkar's Absence From 'In Memoriam' Makes Twitter Furious
NDTV
The Academy also forgot comedian-actor Bob Saget
No Oscar ceremony is complete without the 'In Memoriam' segment, as a part of which all the film personalities that we lost across the globe are remembered by the Academy. Those remembered by the Academy this year began with Sidney Poitier and included William Hurt, Ivan Reitman, Betty White, Ned Beatty, Sally Kellerman and Dean Stockwell, and legendary filmmakers Peter Bogdanovich and Richard Donner. Most stars included in the tribute were from Hollywood though French star Jean-Paul Belmondo was remembered as well. Indian Twitter would have been thrilled to see Lata Mangeshkar and Dilip Kumar included as well. Also, the Academy omitted Full House star and comedian Bob Saget, who died at the age of 65 in January this year. Why was the Indian Nightingale @mangeshkarlata omitted from #Oscars tribute. She is a legend!Bizzare and inexcusable!....#LataMangeshkar The amazing world-record setting #LataMangeshkar (who passed away from Covid) sang more songs for more movies than shown in all Oscars combined. Yet, the #Oscars2022#Inmemoriam did not see it fit to honor her even with a mention. Sometimes, I think, colonialism still lives on... #Oscars2022#LataMangeshkar of #Bollywood fame - Nightingale of India - not even mentioned among the movie folks who passed away in the last year. I was actually expecting #LataMangeshkar to be mentioned in the #Oscars In Memoriam. But well... #LataMangeshkar of Indian Cinema #Bollwoodfame - Nightingale of India - not even mentioned among memorium of the movie folks who passed away in the last year #WTF1#Oscars2022#Oscar#Oscars#AcademyAwardpic.twitter.com/rzCvvMlO2U
