Oscars 2022: In Memoriam Makes Some Glaring Misses
Ed Asner missed
Beautiful Oscars In Memoriam. But one notable name left off was Ed Asner. He was more famous for his television work, but he did act in dozens of films.

One of the other huge omissions was Ed Asner. The Mary Tyler Moore Show icon starred in several movies throughout his career. Many younger movie fans know him best as the voice of Carl Fredricksen in Pixar's Oscar-winner Up.
