The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has defended its in memoriam tribute to late actors and artists that aired during the Oscars on Sunday.

The segment included a QR code that linked out to a more robust online list of actors who died over the last year.

The list includes Paul Sorvino, Anne Heche and Tom Sizemore, who died earlier this month at age 61.
