Michelle Trachtenberg, Shannen Doherty, Tony Todd Among Those Omitted From Oscars In Memoriam Segment

The Oscars In Memoriam segment celebrated entertainment figures who died in the past year, though Michelle Trachtenberg was omitted.

The article from Variety discusses the controversy surrounding the 2025 Oscars' "In Memoriam" segment, which notably omitted actress Michelle Trachtenberg. Despite her significant contributions to film and television, including roles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Ice Princess," Trachtenberg was not included in the tribute.

The Academy has yet to comment on the matter, but the incident has reignited debates about the fairness and transparency of the "In Memoriam" selection process.
