Jane Fonda is taking a dig at the Academy for choosing Barbra Streisand to honor Robert Redford during the ceremony’s In Memoriam segment.
Following the big night, Fonda joked that she had "more to say" than Streisand due to her long history with the late actor.
"I want to know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford?" Fonda told Entertainment Tonight. She noted that Streisand "only made one movie with him, I made four!
I have more to say."
Fonda said she was "always in love with him.
The most gorgeous human being and such great values.
And he did a lot for movies, he really changed movies, lifted up independent movies."

"Every day on the set of ‘The Way We Were’ was exciting, intense and pure joy," Streisand said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"We were such opposites: he was from the world of horses; I was allergic to them!
Yet, we kept trying to find out more about each other, just like the characters in the movie."
