The Oscar Awards ceremony, held on Sunday, March 2, in Los Angeles, generated various reactions among the viewers who were eagerly waiting to know the winners in the different categories. The broadcast achieved high interaction on social media, where criticism was made regarding the choice of winners, especially concerning a supposed award received by actress 'Emilia Pérez'.
One of the most emotional moments of the gala was the 'In Memoriam' segment, where a tribute was paid to the movie stars who passed away in recent months. Among those remembered was British actress Maggie Smith, recognized for her participation in the Harry Potter saga and other notable productions such as 'Superman' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums'.
Under the sadly ironic name of "In Memoriam", recognition was omitted for the last diva of Mexican cinema, Silvia Pinal, who, despite being a jury member of the Oscar Awards for several years and her relevance in the film industry, was not included in the tribute. This absence generated outrage on social media, where users expressed their surprise and disagreement with the omission of such an important figure as Pinal.
During the ceremony, tributes were also paid to other notable figures from cinema who recently left us, such as filmmaker David Lynch, known for his surreal style in films like 'Eraserhead', 'Blue Velvet', and 'Mulholland Drive'; actress Shelley Duvall, remembered for her role in 'The Shining'; and the legendary Gene Hackman, awarded two Oscars throughout his film career. The gala left a bittersweet taste by not including Silvia Pinal in the 'In Memoriam' segment, despite her relevance and legacy in the film industry.
