After all those red carpets… Updated with a statement from the Academy.
The "In Memoriam" montage at the 2015 Academy Awards did not include Joan Rivers, who died in September.

Rivers was a prominent face on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, conducting interviews during the pre-show since 1995. She also hosted Fashion Police on E! from 2010 until the time of her death. Rivers had an established career as a stand-up comedian, talk show host, documentarian, and guest star on reality and scripted television shows. She also, for the Academy's information, worked on multiple films: writing, directing, and starring in the 1978 comedy Rabbit Test, lending her voice to Shrek 2, and making a cameo in Iron Man 3.
Her absence in the segment was noticed.
