The Oscars in memoriam presentation again stirred outrage with iconic Batman actor Adam West left out along with other beloved names.

The annual presentation of Hollywood figures who died over the previous year included 48 names remembered in a tribute during the awards.

There was never room for everyone but fans were shocked actors like West, Glen Campbell, Powers Boothe, and Dorothy Malone were omitted.

Fans were shocked and outraged that the beloved actor, who died aged 88 last June, was omitted

'I cried at the Oscars Memorial not because of the people who died but because Adam West wasn't there,' one unhappy viewer wrote on Twitter.

'All my friends tweeted about it at once. How'd you forget Adam West?' another said.

'The Academy should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for not including both Tobe Hooper and Adam West in this years In Memorium segment,' at third wrote.

'Two iconic legends that are and will be missed greatly.'

'That was a beautiful tribute to some incredible artists, but where was Adam West?! That man gave so much to the world of film, TV, pop culture and comic books,' another said.

However, some fans pointed out that West was primarily known as a TV actor and was never a movie star of the kind included in the segment.

West played Batman in the campy 1966-68 TV series and one film, and later appeared in films like Robinson Crusoe on Mars and The Outlaws Is Coming.

The 88-year-old died last June after a short battle with leukaemia.

Other notable omissions included Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, The Sopranos actor Frank Vincent, and Frasier's John Mahoney.

Glen Campbell, star of the original 1969 True Grit, was also left off the list, to fans' dismay

The tribute segment was presented by actress Jennifer Garner

Fans were also outraged Bill Paxton wasn't included, but the prolific actor was given a sendoff by presenter Jennifer Aniston before last year's in memoriam as he died the day before.

Sunday night's edition was presented by Jennifer Garner with Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder performing Room at the Top by Tom Petty, who died in October, as the montage rolled.
