The in memoriam segment for the 2024 Oscars began with a message from recently deceased Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The clip came from the documentary 'Navalny,' which won best documentary feature film at the 2023 awards ceremony. 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing,' Navalny said as the tribute commenced.
When the tribute aired, “Too Close for Comfort” star Lydia Cornell pointed out on X that Paul Sorvino, Anne Heche and Tom Sizemore were among those who were not included. “Can anyone explain why this happens every year?” she asked. Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino, Paul Sorvino’s daughter, expressed her frustration in a tweet, too. “It is baffling beyond belief that my beloved father and many other amazing brilliant departed actors were left out,” she said.
