LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — After a decades-long career in TV and movies, that won him everything from a Golden Globe, Disney Legend award and five Emmy awards, veteran actor, Tim Conway was left out of the “In Memoriam” segment at the 92nd Academy Awards.
Perhaps known best for his work on the The Carol Burnett Show, Conway also starred in many big screen pictures through his long and storied career.

The #InMemoriam section did not include my beloved Tim Conway and the entire Oscar process needs to be investigated! pic.twitter.com/OY38vku605

Correct me if I’m wrong, @THR but didn’t @TheAcademy also forget one of our favorite funny faces of the silver screen in the 60s, 70s, & 80s, Tim Conway? https://t.co/cUcqw9uILe

By far the worst In Memorial ever. You’ve got time to put that Kobe shit up there, but you leave out Tim Conway? Luke Perry? And others? How disgraceful. Get your priorities in order. No wonder nobody watches these narcissistic shows. #Oscars

No wonder I don’t watch that shitty show. Make sure you die a month or two before the @Oscars2020_ or you won’t get mentioned. #timconway
