Yeah it was last year. I can tell you this people on facebook are complaining galore that they didn't have Joan Rivers in that remembrance tribute.

IMO they should've mentioned her.

Apparently you have to be a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences and Joan wasn't. It's by invitation only.

Shirley Temple and Joan Rivers died this year. I didn't see Hoffman either. I forget his first name, he played Trueman Capote, and died of heroin OD?

I don't know about Joan (or the criteria for being listed on the Oscar In Memoriam) but Philip Seymour Hoffman and Shirley Temple Black were both listed last year as they passed before the ceremony in 2014.

Shirley Temple and Phillip Seymour Hoffman died last year and were included in last year's tribute.

Oh, I get it now. That is odd, I always thought it was the whole year. Well that makes sense now.

I see that Louis Jourdan was added to this year's tribute after a few days from his death.

What movies was Joan in? There was her documentary and some TV movies. I'm not sure why she would have been included.

Yes, I remember seeing his name. So sad he's gone.

C'mon !!! ..... Joan wasn't a film actress, nor a member of the fil academy .... and I've never seen a TV fashion interviewer listed in the tributes .... she really didn't qualify. {#emotions_dlg.unsure}
