Los Angeles: Twitter irrupted when comedienne Joan Rivers name was left out from the Oscars 2015 'In Memoriam' segment, which paid tribute to the artists who passed away in the past year.

Rivers, 81, at the time of her death in September, never won an Oscar, but was a staple on the red carpet. She also appeared in films including "The Muppets Take Manhattan", "Spaceballs", and "The Smurfs".
