The 91st Academy Awards ceremony has officially come and gone, and with it a whole new slew of upsets, disappointments, and of course, the usual exclusion of the horror genre.

Well, except for that unexpected bright moment in the 2019 In Memoriam segment, in which a chosen clip for actor James Karen was pulled from The Return of the Living Dead!
