Celebrity
The organizers for this year s Academy Awards face backlash for failing to pay tribute to the Glee star and the Arrested Development actress at the ceremony. Apr 27, 2021
Rivera, best known for her role as Santana Lopez on
Glee , appeared in films including the 2017 comedy
At the Devil s Door , and passed away last July (20) in an accidental drowning in Lake Piru, California.
And after the star was also snubbed by Grammy s bosses earlier this year, fans took to social media to share their anger at the organisations and pay tribute in their own way.
The Recording Academy has landed in hot water for excluding the Glee alum and the Broadway actor from the tribute section during this year s Grammy Awards over the weekend.
