While they saw her name, the audience never actually got to even see what she looked like.
Friends and family of Janet Patterson were probably looking forward to seeing her recognized and honored by the industry she worked for.
That mistake, as big as it was, was quickly corrected live on the stage.
The In Memorium video is still viewable on the Oscar website as of this writing and no correction has been posted, although, Janet Patterson’s image appears to be missing entirely from the photo slide show on the page, possibly after being pulled for being incorrect.
