'The Oscars forgot about Paul Sorvino, but the rest of us never will!!'
At the 1996 Oscars, Mira memorably caused her dad to break down in tears, as she thanked him while accepting her Best Supporting Actress statuette for Mighty Aphrodite.
Mira had posted a clip of that moment on her Instagram, with the warm words: “On this first year after his passing it is truly a bittersweet but beautiful memory. I love you Dad, I miss you so much.” She updated her post after the snub, writing: “When I posted this I had not learned of Dad’s omission and that of several other incredible artists from the In Memoriam section.
“Incredibly hurt and shocked that my father’s lifelong, irreplaceable, enormous contribution to the world of cinema was overlooked by whomever made that list.“We, his adoring family, and you, his adoring public, know just how unique and incredible he was. We hope [the Academy] does something to put this right.”
The following morning, she got even more explicit with her criticism, calling it “baffling beyond belief that my beloved father and many other amazing brilliant departed actors” didn’t appear in the “In Memoriam” segment.It is baffling beyond belief that my beloved father and many other amazing brilliant departed actors were left out.
