The 95th Oscars’ In Memoriam segment aired on March 12, 2023, with John Travolta introducing the tribute and Lenny Kravitz performing “Calling All Angels.” Viewers and news outlets noted several people missing from the televised montage. The Academy also announced a separate online gallery honoring more than 200 people, so the broadcast was not its only memorial record.
What happened during the 2023 Oscars In Memoriam?
The Academy announced on March 6 that Lenny Kravitz would perform during the 95th Oscars, held March 12, 2023. At the ceremony, John Travolta introduced the segment, which began with Olivia Newton-John, and Kravitz sang “Calling All Angels.” The Los Angeles Times quoted Travolta describing the tribute as a celebration of people who had devoted their lives to their craft, both in front of and behind the camera.

Who was reported missing from the televised montage?
Contemporaneous coverage identified omissions, though the lists differed by outlet. The Los Angeles Times named Anne Heche, Charlbi Dean, Paul Sorvino, Tony Sirico and Sacheen Littlefeather. The Associated Press also reported that Tom Sizemore and Robert Blake were absent. TheWrap additionally named Cindy Williams and other performers. These are reported absences from the broadcast segment, not proof that the Academy intentionally slighted anyone. Los Angeles Times; Associated Press; TheWrap
Why were people called “snubs” left out?
“Snub” appeared in coverage and audience reaction, but the reviewed reporting does not establish a complete selection policy or give an official, case-by-case explanation for the montage’s choices. The omission lists are not identical, and the Academy’s stated memorial scope extended beyond the broadcast. It is therefore more accurate to describe the names as people reported absent from the televised segment than to infer deliberate exclusion.

How did the broadcast compare with the Academy’s online gallery?
The Academy said its extended photo gallery on A.frame, its digital magazine, would memorialize more than 200 filmmakers, artists and executives. That number refers to the gallery, not to the number of people shown in the telecast. TheWrap reported that many people absent from the video appeared in the gallery. The two formats served different purposes: a ceremony montage on television and a broader follow-up digital memorial. The gallery should not be treated as the same item as the broadcast video, nor as evidence that every reported omission had a particular explanation. Academy announcement; TheWrap coverage

The segment was part of the televised 95th Academy Awards on March 12, 2023. The cited coverage identifies it as the broadcast tribute, but does not establish a current, standalone official video destination or its continuing availability. The Academy’s 2023 memorial page is an online memorial resource, while its announcement describes the separate extended photo gallery; neither should be assumed to be a video link.
