Actress Patricia Arquette says she was upset the Oscars left her transgender sister out of the "In Memoriam" tribute. Arquette told ABC News she thought the Academy Awards "would have a little bit more respect" for the transgender community. Arquette says her sister Alexis Arquette should have been honored because she had a great body of work and was one of few transgender artists in the business. Alexis Arquette died Sept. 11 from a heart attack and battled HIV for 29 years. This year's segment included Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher and Gene Wilder.
