The Academy Awards paid tribute to many famous faces who passed on over the last year with its In Memoriam segment on Sunday night, but at least three notable names were omitted from the list: Luke Perry, Sid Haig and Cameron Boyce.

Recently deceased legends Kobe Bryant, who died Jan. 26, and Kirk Douglas, who passed on Feb. 5, did make it into the 2020 Oscars’ slideshow honoring the deceased, which was accompanied by Billie Eilish’s performance of “Yesterday” at the Dolby Theater.

Other noteworthy stars in the 92nd Annual Academy Awards In Memoriam segment included Doris Day, John Singleton, Peter Mayhew, Agnes Varda, D. A. Pennebaker, Peter Fonda, Diahann Caroll, Rip Taylor, Robert Forster and John Witherspoon, among many more.

The Academy did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on the exclusions of Perry, Haig and Boyce from the segment. The three are included in the Oscars’ online gallery, which you can view here.

Best known as Dylan McKay from “Beverly Hills, 90210” and Archie Andrews’ father, Fred Andrews, from The CW’s “Riverdale,” Perry died on March 5, 2019 after suffering a stroke. He was 52.

Boyce, a star of the Disney Channel’s “Descendants” films, died July 6, 2019 at the age of 20 after suffering an epileptic seizure.

Haig, who was a cult favorite actor for playing the part of Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie’s “House of 1000 Corpses” trilogy, died Sept. 21, 2019. He was 80.
