Fans call out Oscars for disrespecting Luke Perry and Cameron Boyce

Many people flooded social media expressing their anger at Oscars for forgetting Perry and Boyce, saying it was absolutely "disrespectful".

Excluding Luke Perry from the Oscars in Memoriam was disrespectful. He appeared in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood which was nominated for Best Picture. Quentin Tarantino personally selected Luke to be in his movie so why not mention him? #oscars pic.twitter.com/eRICigXD0N

Beverly Hills and Riverdale star Luke Perry died at the age of 52 on March 4, 2019. His passing resulted from a stroke the actor had suffered a week prior.

Cameron Boyce, known for his work for Disney channel, shocked fans when he suddenly passed at 20 on July 6, 2019, after suffering an epileptic seizure. We will never forget the wonderful actors that brought us so much joy.
