The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued a statement Monday, Feb. 23, 2015, acknowledging the complaints that Rivers was not featured in the “In Memoriam” tribute Sunday. “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,” the statement said. (AP Photo/Lionel Cironneau, File)
