Oscars 2022 doesn’t pay tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, Dilip Kumar in Memoriam section; fans react

By Aman Shukla

The In Memoriam section of the 94th 94th Oscars 2022 paid a tribute to artists and filmmakers of the global film who died last year. They included Sidney Poitier, Betty White, Ivan Reitman, Stephen Sondheim among numerous others. However, the segment didn’t honour two Indian legends who passed away recently–singer  Lata Mangeshkar and actor Dilip Kumar.

Taking to Twitter, a fan wrote, “The amazing world-record-setting #LataMangeshkar (who passed away from Covid) sang more songs for more movies than shown in all Oscars combined. Yet, the #Oscars2022 #Inmemoriam did not see it fit to honor her even with a mention. Sometimes, I think, colonialism still lives on…”

Another person wrote, “#LataMangeshkar of Indian Cinema #Bollwoodfame – Nightingale of India – not even mentioned among memorium of the movie folks who passed away in the last year #WTF1 #Oscars2022 #Oscar #Oscars #AcademyAward.”

“I was actually expecting #LataMangeshkar to be mentioned in the #Oscars In Memoriam. But well…” wrote a fan on Twitter. “#Oscars2022 #LataMangeshkar of #Bollywood fame – Nightingale of India – not even mentioned among the movie folks who passed away in the last year,” tweeted another person.
