Patricia Arquette Speaks Out After Sister Alexis Left Out of Oscars In Memoriam

Patricia Arquette was not pleased that her sister Alexis was left out of the Oscars In Memoriam segment.

The Oscar-winning actress explained that she thought the snub was a slight to the transgender community.

Alexis was a great actor, and had 70 credits, and was really brave to live her truth as a trans woman, and they didn’t include her in the memorial,” Patricia told ET.

She added,”I think that was a real slight to the trans community, especially at this time, when trans kids can’t even go to the bathroom in the United States of America at school. It says a lot about the lack of inclusion…Trans kids can really never look at anyone and see their heroes, and I think that was a big mistake.”

Patricia concluded, “The reality is, trans people are ignored all the time in our culture and our community. They have their civil rights taken away. They’re a very disrespected community.”

The 49-year-old Oscars host opened up about the incident during his late night show on Monday (February 27).

Donald Trump Responds to Oscars Ceremony Digs & 'La La Land' Mistake

Donald Trump thinks the Oscars spent too much time focusing on politics, and that’s the real cause of the La La Land and Moonlight mix-up at the end.

“I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end,” Trump said (via Breitbart News). “It was a little sad. It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. It didn’t feel like a very glamorous evening. I’ve been to the Oscars. There was something very special missing, and then to end that way was sad.”

Some moments that were politically charged included Gael Garcia Bernal speaking out against Trump’s border wall and Iranian director Asghar Farhadi denouncing his travel ban.

Oscars 2017's In Memoriam Uses Photo of Woman Who is Alive

The big “envelopegate” incident at the end of the 2017 Oscars wasn’t the only major mistake that happened during the show!

A photo of a woman who is not dead was displayed alongside the name of a deceased costume designer during the In Memoriam tribute.

Australian costume designer Janet Patterson died in October 2015, but a photo of Australian producer Jan Chapman was used instead.

“I was devastated by the use of my image in place of my great friend and long-time collaborator Janet Patterson. I had urged her agency to check any photograph which might be used and understand that they were told that the Academy had it covered. Janet was a great beauty and four-time Oscar nominee and it is very disappointing that the error was not picked up,” Chapman told Variety after the segment aired. “I am alive and well and an active producer.”
