Paul, who passed away last year at the age of 83, was one of five major stars who was left out of the show’s on-air segment.

He, and the four other stars left out, were mentioned in The Academy’s online gallery.

In response to the omission, Mira took to social media with her disappointment.

“It is baffling beyond belief that my beloved father and many other amazing brilliant departed actors were left out,” she wrote. “The Oscars forgot about Paul Sorvino, but the rest of us never will!!”

Mira‘s step-mother, Dee Dee, also called out The Academy over it.

“Paul was not the only deserving soul left out, and a QR Code is not acceptable,” she told People. “The Academy needs to issue an apology, admit the mistake and do better. Paul Sorvino deserves better, the audience deserves better. Is the Academy so jaded they forget people who are loved, who have given their hearts to this industry?”
