Bob Saget was confusingly left out of the “in memoriam” at the 2022 Oscars on Sunday, sparking outrage from fans angry to see the snub.
Saget himself was an Oscar winner, scoring a student Academy Award in 1977 for his black-and-white documentary, “Through Adam’s Eyes.”
Twitter was quick to point out the Academy’s glaring omission in its special segment to honor those we lost in the past year.
“Rioting because Bob Saget wasn’t in the In Memoriam portion of the #Oscars,” one fan pointed out.
“No but seriously, why wasn’t Bob Saget in the memoriam?” added another.
“Cancel the #oscars for not mentioning Bob Saget in the Memoriam,” chimed in another.
The “Full House” star and comedian was found dead in a hotel room in January. He was 65.

Found out last night on a local TV station (I live in FL) that the entire Oscar production show crew was an all Black one led by Will Packer who is from St. Petersburg, FL.
St. Petersburg held a special Oscar watching party to celebrate their hometown guy made good, and Will Parker’s historic all Black crew producing last night’s Oscar show.
Silly wabbits! The Oscars are for people who worked in Movies, not TV. If the Grammys ignore his departure, then you have something to complain about, even though his TV show was never on my TV.
Emmys, not Grammys
Wonder how St Petersburg felt last night when the whole state was dissed!
FWIW, I doubt it was about skin color.
I’m wondering if it had to do with how Saget died.
Has he starred in any movies?
It’s only for people who have made or been in movies, no? Bob was a TV star.
According to Wikipedia, Saget made at least 18 movies.
Much bigger as a TV star, of course. But he made movies and they should have recognized him.
Then they missed him. Maybe because he was Jewish....
Do they list those who have died since the last Oscar ceremony or do they go by calendar year? Was he skipped because he died in January 2022?
Is his nickname “Fudge”?
Agree.
#CANCEL THE OSCARS
for, oh!, so many reasons.
Cancel the entire genre of such shows.
These people need more stroking than most pet dogs
lying on their backs.
Were any Jews included in the Memorium? If so, then Saget's being Jewish had nothing to do with his exclusion.
Probably a combination of him being mostly a TV star, and the manner of his death.
Interestingly another freeper posted copies of Sagets tweets from social antisocial media (twitter etc.).
Evidently Saget was persona non grata and "canceled" because he tweeted "All Lives Matter". Bob Saget was forced to retract his "All Lives Matter" statement but that did not satisfy the haters.
Saget had committed the unforgivable sin against the Holy Ghost George Floyd by saying "All Lives Matter".
For the record "All Lives Do Matter".
