The 2025 Oscars' In Memoriam segment stirred controversy as numerous beloved figures, including Michelle Trachtenberg and Tony Todd, were notably absent. Trachtenberg, recognized for her roles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Harriet the Spy," recently passed away, leaving fans particularly upset about her exclusion. Despite her recency of death, other late stars, such as Gene Hackman, were featured. The Academy's selection process for the segment is complex, combining various talents from the industry, leading to inevitable omissions that spark frustration among audiences each year.
This year, viewers were particularly angry about the omission of Michelle Trachtenberg, who is best known for her role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Academy members decide who is included in the In Memoriam section based on a mixture of on-screen talent and behind-the-scenes contributors.
