CulterixEmmys’ In Memoriam segment draws criticism for who it left out
Viewers and press flagged notable omissions from this year’s tribute segment.
This year's Emmys In Memoriam segment drew criticism from both viewers and press over names that were left out of the tribute, a recurring flashpoint for award shows built around honoring the industry's own year.
Almost every major awards broadcast now faces some version of this same criticism, and it tends to generate its own separate news cycle apart from who actually won — a reminder that how a show handles its most solemn segment gets scrutinized just as closely as its biggest categories.
Why it matters. These omissions tend to become their own news cycle every awards season.
