Shannen Doherty was left out of the 2025 Academy Awards ‘in memoriam’ tribute on Sunday.
The actress died in July of last year at the age of 53 after a long cancer battle.
Though her biggest successes were on TV with Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, she was in several movies as well like Heathers, Mallrats and Swing Shift.
Her rep felt like that was enough to warrant Doherty’s inclusion in the ‘in memoriam’ at the Oscars.
Shannen worked in Hollywood for an impressive 45 years as she started early with child performances on shows like Father Murphy, The Phoenix and Little House On The Prairie.

Commenters also singled out the Academy for leaving out late entertainers Doherty, Martin Mull and Linda Lavin from the tribute to those in the industry who had pᴀssed away since last year’s event
A longtime rep for Shannen told TMZ it was ‘really disappointing not to see her included in the tribute.’
Her fans were also livid as they took to X to share their anger with comments such as, ‘Shannen must be rolling in her grave’ and ‘She deserves better than that.’
Michelle Trachtenberg was also left off the ‘in memoriam’ segment after dying last week at age 39.
She had stepped back from show business in recent years.
‘Did they really not even include Michelle Trachtenberg in the “In Memoriam” for tonight’s Oscars??? That’s icky,’ said one user of the New York City native
Said one viewer: ‘It’s shameful that the #Oscars didn’t include Michelle Trachtenberg in their memorial montage of all the actors/actresses who have pᴀssed within the year!!!!’
Another user said, ‘Ohhh…F*** YOU #Oscars for not putting Michelle Trachtenberg in the memorial.’ while one upset viewer wrote, ‘NO MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG?!?!?? Go to Hell #Oscars.’
One user admitted they were surprised at the omission: ‘Did they really not even include Michelle Trachtenberg in the “In Memoriam” for tonight’s Oscars??? That’s icky.’

Following the popular series, she went on to star in the witch drama, Charmed. Doherty (middle) played Prue Halliwell, the oldest of the three witch sisters
Trachtenberg gained fame in the 1996 Harriet the Spy film and later appeared n a pair of popular TV shows – Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl.
The New York Police Department said in a statement that officers responding to an apartment building in the Hell´s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan found the actress ‘unconscious and unresponsive’ amid their response to a 911 call.
Trachtenberg had been pronounced ᴅᴇᴀᴅ at the scene of the incident, authorities said, adding that foul play was not suspected to be a factor in the star’s pᴀssing.

Among the other motion pictures Trachtenberg had appeared in included 1999’s Inspector Gadget, 2004’s EuroTrip, 2006’s Black Christmas and 2009’s 17 Again.
But despite her recent pᴀssing and appearances in multiple movies, Trachtenberg was not mentioned in the somber segment – and fans let the Academy know they felt.
One user said, ‘Michelle trachtenberg not being mentioned in the in memoriam section of the oscars is upsetting , you are and will remain so so loved and admired michelle.’
One upset viewer wrote, ‘NO MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG?!?!?? Go to Hell #Oscars.’
A fan said that it was so sad the actress was left out of the emotional segment, adding that she ‘deserved her flowers!!!’
‘Why was michelle trachtenberg not honored at the oscars memoriam?????’ one user said. Another added, ‘Oh f*** yall for not including michelle trachtenberg. so disrespectful #Oscars.’
One user added, ‘Like hello. even a simple black screen with her name would’ve sufficed?’
A fan posted a sH๏τ of reality star NeNe Leakes with the caption ‘where was Michelle Trachtenberg in the in Memoriam,’ while another posted an image of a young Trachtenberg performing in the film Harriet the Spy, calling the snub a ‘huge oversight’
One user pushed back on any narrative that organizers failed to include Trachtenberg because they didn’t have enough time to prepare.
‘Why didn’t they include Michelle Trachtenberg in the In Memoriam?’ the user said.
They continued, ‘It wouldn’t be due to time constraints because they added Gene Hackman who died one day after her. #Oscars RIP Michelle!’
The New York City´s Office of Chief Medical Examiner said that Trachtenberg’s relatives declined to have an autopsy performed, according to the AP.
