This year’s Emmys presented an emotional farewell to some of the largest stars and creators in the television world. The moving tribute took place while the song “Go Rest High On The Mountain”, sung by Lainey Wilson and Vince Gill, played.
But actors such as the star of “Alice” Polly Holliday, who died on September 9, the wrestler and actor Hulk Hogan, the star of “What’s Healths” Danielle Spencer, Graham Greene, Tony Todd and the star of “Hospital” Hospital “Leslie Charleson were left. Jonathan Joss, Lynne Marie Stewart of” Dennis the threat “.
Phylicia Rashad, who remembered her son “Cosby Show”, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, died on July 20.
“Malcolm-Jamal Warner stays in our hearts,” said Rashad.
Stars like “Downton Abbey” Dowager Maggie Smith, the actor of “Good Times” John Amos, the veteran of “Mash” Loretta Swit and the musician and star of reality Ozzy Osbourne were memorized with the talent behind the scenes like the creator of “Twin Peaks” David Lynch. The segment ended with the final slide dedicated to composer Quincy Jones.
The other actors who received tributes to the Emmy this year included Linda Lavin, Michelle Trachtenberg, Richard Chamberlain and Loni Anderson.
However, several major actors who worked mainly in cinema, such as Gene Hackman, Val Kilmer and Terence Stamp, were not included.
Each year, fans criticize when some of their favorite actors are not included during the in Memoriam part. Often this is due to time constraints, because the segment lasts only a few minutes. Sometimes the actors and others who are better known in the worlds of cinema or music are left out, even if they have appeared on television several times. And the timing also plays a role – although the television academy can be added to the segment until about a week before the ceremony, many viewers forget that the actors who died earlier in 2024, notably Shannen Doherty, Phil Donahue and Richard Simmons, were already known in last year’s EMMYS.
