Well, disdain for horror, the racism of the Academy, and if the horror is primarily made by and for black people? You know the Academy doesn't even know it exists unless they're absolutely forced to recognize it.
May Tony Todd's memory be a blessing, and may horror continue to get more inclusive.

Leaving an icon such as Tony Todd out of this year’s In Memoriam wasn’t just disrespectful— it speaks to the Academy’s general distain for horror, a genre that has kept the box office afloat year after year, especially during this impossibly difficult decade. #Oscars
