Why does the Oscars continually screw up the In Memoriam tribute up? No one wants to see dancers obstructing the views on those that died the past year. It's also not the time for a musical piece that includes lyrics. What's needed is a full screen showing those that we lost with some background music that doesn't dominate those that are being honored.

What a shame the names were so hard to read. I wish they would make this part of the Oscars more about the people who passed and less about the live performance.

[VirginiaHildegard]

The Hunger Games movie gave more screen times to the dead tributes. This memorial was just disrespectful.

[NjD....]

Hey cameraman, next time stand outside the building so we can see better. 🙄

[MilesToGoGo]

I absolutely hated this. Yeah let’s put dancers in front of the of the people we’re supposed to be remembering like what

[DH_Artist]

How hard is it to black out the theater, play a sentimental instrumental track, and just have a huge ass screen showcasing the people that passed?

[janicevashon]

I thought the memorial segment was terrible this year. The dancers in front of the screen was in poor taste and distracting. The camera was so far from the screen, that I could not see those memorialized.

The In Memoriam segment should be centered on those whose contributions to entertainment and the business there of should be celebrated and remembered. We don’t need an avant garde display or highly choreographed performance THAT TOOK AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE YOU’RE REMEMBERING! How many snubs do you think were done because it didn’t fit the “moment” these people were trying to do to pump their artistic prowess up while crapping on the memory of the people who made us feel and lightened up our lives who we’ll never see again except in the work they left behind. To the Academy, for the love of the people you want your program to be the biggest thing on TV, please give us a subdued and respectful segment of remembrance where the people who you are honoring be present overall and leave the performances to any other part of the show. Thank you, rant over.

Thank you Oscar for remembering the actor Lee Sun-kyun (i'm from Korea) 이선균 배우를 기억해준 오스카에 감사하다.

They have a tribute for Lee Sun Kyun at 3:24. His death is so unexpected, just January last year I was watching his drama with my favorite Korean actress expecting to see him at the year end awards show of the station that aired his kdrama. No one would expect that he would be dead before the end of that year. RIP Lee Sun Kyun. 😭

This is the worst In Memoriam segment done by the Oscars... Focal point should be those stars who passed and not the singers or the dancers... 😔🙄

[MyraJean]

This year's In Memoriam was terrible. They show a few photos and names, but end with a huge batch of names slapped up on the screen for the briefest of moments. Impossibly NOT honoring any of those included at the end! BAFTA did it MUCH better!!!

matthew perry, you hit the most, we still miss you so much and we will never forget you … 🖤🕊💔

[teresaferrer]

I never wish this, but in Memorium is always a dignified tribute . Silence is loud enough. Please, no more ballets, singing, just show their names in bold letters and let us remember.

[kittkat]

Who decided to have the dancing during the In Memoriam? Just show the people who passed, how hard can that be?

[Hyw]

Great moment to remember Ignacio López Tarzo, a great Mexican film and theater actor, he starred in "Macario" in the first Mexican film nominated in 1961 for Best Foreign Film.

[j.c.b]

We don't want silent singers and interpretive dancers. We want each person to be shown -alone - long enough to see their face and read their name. It's not brain surgery.

[tiborpocsai]

Treat Williams and Ray Stevenson deserved a photo! They were great actors!

[BLTKellys]

Glenda Jackson deserved an audio extract as well; she won two Oscars after all.
