A number of prominent performers who died within the past year were notably excluded from the "In Memoriam" segment of the Oscars last Sunday.
TV "Batman" Adam West, singer and actress Della Reese and longtime musician and TV host Glen Campbell were among the stars who were not mentioned during the emotional segment.
David Cassidy, who starred on "The Partridge Family," and John Mahoney of "Frasier" were also left out, as were Robert Guillaume, "Goodfellas" and "The Sopranos" star Frank Vincent, "Animal House" actor Stephen Furst and "Dick Van Dyke Show" actress and longtime entertainer Rose Marie.
Former best supporting actress recipient Dorothy Malone was also excluded. She won that coveted honor in 1956 for her performance in "Written in the Wind."
Directors Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Poltergeist") and Lewis Gilbert, who received an Oscar nomination for "Alfie" in 1967, also did not appear.
The annual "In Memoriam" segment featured tributes to a bevy of stars who died since last year's show, such as Glenne Headly, James Bond actor Roger Moore and actress and director Jeanne Moreau.
Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder provided the music for the segment with a live rendition of "Room at the Top" by late rock icon Tom Petty.
The omissions of West, who died last June at 88, and others were quickly criticized on social media by fans.
