2016 Oscars Biggest Snubs and Surprises9 of 9
Where's Abe Vigoda?
The In Memoriam tribute can't fit every celebrity we've lost in the past year, but it was especially galling to viewers that The Godfather and "Barney Miller" star Abe Vigoda was left out. Someone may have to sleep with the fishes for that mistake. He only died about a month ago, at the end of January, but the tribute managed to include David Bowie and Alan Rickman, who both died in January, so why not Abe? Fans also missed Uggie, the dog from Oscar-winning film The Artist, and Geoffrey Lewis, father of Juliette Lewis, among others.
