<p>At this point it could be its own question on everyone’s annual Oscars ballot: Who will fail to make it into the <em>In Memoriam</em> segment this time? And in 2023, the list of those snubbed was particularly bewildering, with <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/anne-heche-deserved-so-much-better-from-hollywood-and-us">Anne Heche</a>, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/tom-sizemore-troubled-and-controversial-actor-dead-at-61">Tom Sizemore</a>, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/leslie-jordans-gay-sexuality-was-the-sassy-southern-inspiration-we-needed">Leslie Jordan</a>, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/model-and-actress-charlbi-dean-dies-at-32-from-sudden-illness">Charlbi Dean</a>, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/lisa-marie-presley-hospitalized-after-suspected-cardiac-arrest">Lisa Marie Presley</a>, and <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/jimmy-kimmel-remembers-the-night-gilbert-gottfried-bombed-with-a-911-joke-and-then-killed">Gilbert Gottfried</a> all failing to make the cut. </p>

Sorvino died of natural causes last July at age 83.</p>
<p>On Monday, Sorvino’s family responded to his omission, calling it “unconscionable” and “baffling beyond belief.”</p>
