US EditionWho Was Left Off the 2026 Oscars 'In Memoriam' Tribute?
- On Sunday, March 15 the Oscars expanded the In Memoriam segment to about 15 minutes at the Dolby Theatre, featuring special tributes to Rob Reiner, Diane Keaton and Robert Redford.
- Producers said the expansion reflected an unusually large number of notable deaths over the past year, and Oscars producers had signaled the In Memoriam extension before Sunday’s telecast.
- Billy Crystal and a stage full of collaborators led the Rob Reiner tribute, Rachel McAdams hosted an extended Diane Keaton remembrance, and Barbra Streisand sang and spoke for Robert Redford.
- Even so, the telecast omitted notable figures such as James Van Der Beek, Eric Dane, Brigitte Bardot and Bud Cort, while several names appeared only on the Academy's website long list, prompting social media backlash.
- The Academy's website lists around 300 names, and selection choices, including omission of David Keighley, were publicly noted by Geoff Keighley.
