  1. Iron Vesper: remember reading his book on the academy's history, always thought it'd be fascinating to see that behind-the-scenes
  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
  6. Diego: wasn't aware he was still active in the industry post-Academy years 👍
  7. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: thought he did a lot to clean up the Oscars' image in the 90s
  8. 🕊️ Guillaume Flores: Loved reading his history book, always impressed by how he oversaw the awards for so long
  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
  12. Onyx Drift: hard to believe it's been almost a decade since he left the Academy, seemed like only yesterday I was reading his book and thinking about how few people knew that stuff
  13. Lunafalk: only just heard this, didn't know he was still active in the industry recently
