The In Memoriam segment of each awards show should be solemn but celebratory, but lately has turned into a ghoulish bit of theater. Industry greats who’ve died in the past year are honored, but because of the national platform, the focus shifts to the politics of the whole affair. Audiences note which deceased person gets the most applause and worst, who was wrongfully left out of the montage.
At the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday, Eddie Vedder performed as the photos and clips rolled.

Romero, Bill Paxton, Mary Tyler Moore, Adam West, Martin Landau, Glenne Headley, and Harry Dean Stanton.
