The Academy is no stranger to snubs, but really, even during the "In Memoriam" tribute?
Joan Rivers was not mentioned during Sunday's Oscars' tribute to those who have died this year. The comedian and actress died on Sept. 4, 2014 from complications from surgery.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences might have a legit defense in that it only traditionally honors members of the Academy -- Mashable contacted the Academy to see whether Rivers is a member, as the list is not public -- but they could've made an exception for Rivers, who appeared in 31 movies and pioneered red carpet reporting, including the "Who are you wearing?" question.
Rivers was also excluded from the Grammys' "In Memoriam" segment -- despite having posthumously won a Grammy award this year for best spoken word album for Diary of a Mad Diva.
Twitter was outraged that Rivers was left out of the lengthy segment. But it's OK, we made Joan the memoriam card she deserves.

UPDATE, Feb. 23, 5 p.m. An Oscar rep gave a statement to The Hollywood Reporter regarding the Academy's decision to exclude Joan Rivers from the segment.
"Joan Rivers is among the many worthy artists and filmmakers we were unfortunately unable to feature in the In Memoriam segment of this year's Oscar show. She is, however, included in our In Memoriam gallery on Oscar.com."
