Reaction to the snubs came swiftly on social media.

According to Vanity Fair, a committee at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences convened in January to decide on a list of who to include. From nearly 800 names, the committee spent hours in debate before selecting 51 people. A source told the magazine that while in the past, the annual tribute primarily featured big name movie stars and directors, the committee has been increasingly dedicated to representing a diversity of talent from around the world.

Other names that were left out included director Tobe Hooper, Oscar-winning actress Dorothy Malone and actor Miguel Ferrer.
