Her “fuck you” and middle fingers were bleeped and blurred, but viewers could still clearly make out what she was saying and doing.

“Let’s all blame [The Academy]. Lets’ blame them for everything,” Rancic continued. “Amen,” Kelly Osbourne added.

Then, Rivers’ successor Kathy Griffin, said, “Can we kind of take a moment with that because when I was watching that I thought, Meryl Steep is out there and she kept saying like, âPeople who push the boundaries and stuff.’ So when they left Joan out of that, I thought it was really a miss. And she was in feature films and I thought that was an odd miss. But it’s almost like even posthumously, she’s still a rebel.”

Brad Goreski, Osbourne, and Rancic all clapped in agreement.

BuzzFeed News’ request for comment from E! and Rancic were not immediately returned.
