Fans are upset over snubs at Sunday's Oscars 'In Memoriam' tribute. Neither Paul Sorvino or Tony Sirico was mentioned in the tribute and both actors were in "Goodfellas" among many other films and TV shows. In a Tweet, Sorvino's daughter Mira Sorvino, herself an Oscar winner, called it baffling beyond belief that her beloved father and many other amazing brilliant departed actors were left out. The Academy did publish an extensive list of those who passed online, but many viewers noted the deaths of Sorvino, Sirico, Tom Sizemore, Anne Heche and Leslie Jordan weren't included in the broadcast.
