Since half of not 70% of those who were in the montage died in 2020, said discussion here is beyond misplaced. SC We have a thread for Academy Award winners. There are 380 names listed on the full Oscars In Memoriam page for the year 2020–21. The majority of those names were not Oscar winners, or even nominees, but rather simply names from the industry. That's why I posted it in here as a general item. The only other place it could have maybe gone was Hollywood Possibilities, though the Academy Awards covers international cinema too. Try and use your brain before you randomly start smacking buttons on your keyboard in a fit of rage next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
