A source told Fox News Digital, "The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars In Memoriam segment. An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes recommendations for the telecast based on limited available time."

Another added, "Jessica rabbit no KYLIE JENNER ❤️ missing just a red hair."

During Conan O'Brien's opening monologue, the host took a jab at Chalamet's recent comments about the opera and ballet. "I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore’ — all respect to the ballet and opera people out there," Chalamet said during CNN's and Variety's town hall.

"Security is extremely tight tonight. I'm told there's worry about attacks from both the opera and ballet community. They're just mad you left out jazz," O'Brien joked.

Madigan earned her first Oscar nomination in 1985 for her supporting role in “Twice in a Lifetime.”

Conan O'Brien opened the 98th Academy Awards Sunday with a bold warning to the audience.

"Last year when I hosted, Los Angeles was on fire, but this year, everything is going great," O'Brien said.

"Security is extremely tight tonight," he continued. "I'm told there's worry about attacks from both the opera and ballet community ... they're just mad you left out jazz."

He added, "I should warn you tonight could get political, and if that makes you uncomfortable, there's an alternate Oscars being hosted by Kid Rock. It's at the Dave & Busters down the street."
