2. June: loved his work on the Oscars archives, what a legacy
3. Doylerayan: loved his book, always thought 'The Academy and the Award' was a must-read for anyone in this industry
4. Kai: not many people remember him like he was during his time but those books he wrote on the academy are still widely read and respected
5. Theo: seems fitting they're honoring him now - his years of leading the academy got a bad rap at times but he did leave behind some real gems in history books and whatnot

9. Ruby: kind of sad to see him go, he was a fixture in that community for ages
10. Diego: surprised he didn't get recognition for the 'For Your Consideration' campaign before his passing, that was some savvy PR work
11. Mirage Nomad: don't recall him getting much credit for his actual leadership beyond award changes

13. Lunafalk: only just heard this, didn't know he was still active in the industry recently
