Mitzi Gaynor, Olivia Hussey, Bernard Hill, Silvia Pinal and Alain Delon were also among the big names missing from the somber section.

Michelle Trachtenberg, who died on Feb. 26, was noticeably absent from the In Memoriam segment at the Oscars 2025, as well as Shannen Doherty and Tony Todd

Eleanor Coppola was also absent from the segment, which honored stars like Gene Hackman and Gena Rowlands, who died within the past year.

The Oscars In Memoriam segment continues to stir upset among viewers as the 2025 ceremony snubbed stars like Michelle Trachtenberg, Shannen Doherty, Tony Todd, Olivia Hussey, and more in its most recent televised presentation.

The 97th Academy Awards were held just four days after Michelle Trachtenberg died at the age of 39, and many viewers slammed the awards show for not including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum in the In Memoriam segment.

In the same segment, the Academy also honoured notable names like Gena Rowlands, Teri Garr, Maggie Smith, Shelley Duvall, Roger Corman and Robert Towne.

As is nearly always the case, a few famous faces were missing from the In Memoriam segment — and their fans were quick to notice.

While Gene Hackman and Quincy Jones received stand-alone memorial tributes during Sunday’s Academy Awards telecast, but several other notables did not appear in the show’s annual “in memoriam” segment.
