Oscars 2015: In memoriam honors Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall, skips Joan Rivers

Comedian Joan Rivers, James Bond villain Richard Kiel, and the voice of Pinocchio were among those missing from the In Memoriam segment of Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony, honoring industry luminaries who have passed away this year.

Introduced by Meryl Streep, and concluding with a musical performance by Jennifer Hudson, this year's In Memoriam comprised 50 names, including Lauren Bacall, Ruby Dee, James Garner, Elizabeth Pena, Luise Rainer, Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams; directors Richard Attenborough, Paul Mazursky, Mike Nichols and Alain Resnais; "Alien" designer H.R. Giger; makeup artist Dick Smith ("The Godfather," "The Exorcist"); and cinematographer Gordon Willis ("The Godfather," "Manhattan"). [See below for a complete listing.]

For the dozens of actors, directors, craftspeople and industry executives who had died since last year's awards ceremony who were not mentioned during the broadcast, the Academy directed viewers to an online gallery of more than 120 people at oscar.com. The Academy also maintains a Memorial page for its members at its website, oscars.org.

Rivers, who died last September at age 81, was the most glaring omission from the broadcast tribute. In addition to writing and directing he 1978 comedy "Rabbit Test," starring Bill Crystal, she was a prominent presence on the Oscar red carpet for years.
