Twitter fans have expressed their anger on the micro blogging site after late Joan Rivers was left out of Oscars 2015 in memoriam segment.

The Academy Awards paid tribute to a lot of late great stars they lost this past year, including Robin Williams, Mike Nichols, Lauren Bacall, Edward Herrmann, Mickey Rooney, and Maya Angelou, however, failed to pay tribute to late TV personality, Us Magazine reported.

One Twitter user said that, "It was really shameful that you didn't include #JoanRivers in your "In Memoriam" tribute at the #Oscars. That was wrong."

Another said, "As if the #Oscar2015 weren't lame enough, they left @ElaineStritch and @Joan_Rivers out of the "In Memoriam" reel?! #shameonyou".

Rivers never won an Oscar, but was a staple on the red carpet and a legend in Hollywood and she also appeared in films including 'The Muppets Take Manhattan', 'Spaceballs', and 'The Smurfs'.
