\n\tActors, executives and creatives across the television business gathered Monday night for the Emmy Awards to recognize the year\u2019s best programs. As it does every year, the ceremony also paid tribute to the actors and others who have died since the last Emmys<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut every year, social media users are quick to point out names that were omitted in the interest of time. Despite a tribute to \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d earlier in the show, in which it was mentioned that it had been a \u201ctough two years,\u201d Nicholas Brendon<\/a>\u2018s name was not included on the screen. This year, fans also called out names like \u201cWalker Texas Ranger\u201d star Chuck Norris<\/a>, \u201cDays of Our Lives\u201d and \u201cStarship Troopers\u201d actor Patrick Muldoon, \u201cThe Gong Show\u201d panelist Jaye P. Morgan, \u201cThe Ring\u201d actress Daveigh Chase and \u201c30 Rock\u201d performer Grizz Chapman as not being recognized during the Emmys\u2019 official In Memoriam segment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe In Memoriam portion started out with a tribute to Catherine O\u2019Hara<\/a>. Her \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d co-stars Annie Murphy and Dan Levy and \u201cHome Alone\u201d co-star Macaulay Culkin hosted her In Memoriam tribute.<\/p>\n

\n\tDolly Parton <\/a>and Rob Reiner also got segments of their own. More recent losses like Tim Curry, Hayden Panettiere \u2014 and even Bob Mackie, who died on Monday, the same day as the ceremony \u2014 were also featured. Noah Kahan performed Simon & Garfunkel\u2019s \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d as the names appeared onscreen.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough this year featured more tributes than usual, it\u2019s just not possible to include everyone who died over the course of the past year \u2014 including those whose careers were more skewed towards movies or music than television. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences also needs to reserve time for the people who created and produced notable television programming, such as \u201cTaxi\u201d and \u201cCheers\u201d director James Burrows and CNN founder Ted Turner.<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, fans can find many of those who didn\u2019t appear onscreen on the TV Academy\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actors, executives and creatives across the television business gathered Monday night for the Emmy Awards to recognize the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":848570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,149680,10549,88,240395],"class_list":["post-848569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-chuck-norris","tag-emmys","tag-entertainment","tag-nicholas-brendon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=848569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/848570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=848569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=848569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=848569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
