Oscar producers are once again in hot water for missing more stars in the annual "In Memoriam" montage.During Sunday's awards ceremony, the show took time out from handing out awards to pay tribute to many of the legends we've lost over the last 12 months – including Marvel icon Stan Lee, Burt Reynolds and "Superman" star Margot Kidder. But, there were complaints from viewers on Twitter when Verne Troyer was snubbed from the montage, despite being a huge part of the "Austin Powers" movie franchise as Mini-Me.Troyer – whose other notable movie credits included "Men in Black," "Jingle All the Way" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" – wasn't the only significant star snubbed.Also missing from the “In Memoriam” segment were “Creature from the Black Lagoon” star Julie Adams, notorious “Full Metal Jacket” drill sergeant R. Lee Ermey, John Mahoney and Carol Channing, who was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 40th Academy Awards. [/twitter] This is hardly a new phenomenon. "Batman" star Adam West and "RoboCop's" Miguel Ferrer were snubbed in last year's "In Memoriam" reel, and Oscar winner Patricia Arquette slammed producers for leaving out her sibling Alexis Arquette the year before.Other notable snubs included Farrah Fawcett in 2010, which the film academy explained at the time by arguing she was best known for her TV work.
