Each year as I watch the Academy Awards (Oscars), I like to see the “In Memoriam” segment, to remember the talented people who have died in the past year.

In February, the 2024 Oscars were blasted for incorporating a disrespectful interpretive dance during the “In Memoriam” segment; upsetting most attendees and certainly audience members at home. In addition, because the list is often long, the people are only on the screen for mere seconds, and it is hard to acknowledge each of them so quickly.

It is only fitting for these people to be properly remembered for their work and lifetimes of achievements. Some of them you may have never heard of, because they spent their lives producing, dancing, choreographing or writing the shows and films we enjoy.

This year, I put my research skills to the test to give you just a little information about these talented people who we have lost in 2024. It’s not only a good way to take out 2024, but it may help you play know-it-all when you are watching the Oscars this year!

Yes, the list is long, so I am breaking it up into two posts.
