This oversight has sparked outrage among fans and industry peers, leading to widespread criticism of the Academy for its selection process. The segment, intended to honor those in the entertainment industry who passed away in the previous year, has historically faced scrutiny for its exclusions, but Trachtenberg's absence has particularly highlighted ongoing issues with the Academy's criteria for inclusion. The Academy has yet to comment on the matter, but the incident has reignited debates about the fairness and transparency of the "In Memoriam" selection process.
