Joan Rivers is synonymous with awards show particularly the Oscars.
The iconic comedian who died last year made the red carpet famous for what it is today as she stood interviewing celebrities and skewering their style at the same time.
However, the Academy didn’t in anyway, include her on the list of stars to pay tribute to this season. Regardless of her red carpet role, she has also been actively working in the movies.
Rivers’ fans and colleagues lashed out about the omission on Twitter:
One said, “No Joan Rivers in the montage??? She basically created the red carpet which makes all of these bitches millions. For shame!!!”
Another Twitter user said, “No mention of @Joan_Rivers in the memorial?! That’s not right. #Oscars2015.”
