Shannen Doherty’s former costar Jennie Garth is taking the Academy Awards to task for leaving her friend out of the in memoriam segment at the 2025 ceremony.
In a video posted by TMZ that was sH๏τ on Tuesday, the 52-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 star said that it was ‘messed up’ that the Oscars had left Doherty out of its montage of Hollywood figures who had died since the previous ceremony.
The exclusion left a representative of the late actress furious, while fans were also upset that Michelle Trachtenberg had been left out of the in memoriam segment.
Unlike occasional instances were a star dies shortly before the ceremony, leaving little time to adjust the montage, Shannen died on July 13 of last year at age 53.
The Charmed actress had been battling breast cancer for years, and it eventually spread to her brain.
Garth, who starred with Doherty on 90210, was spotted on Tuesday as she was leaving ABC studios.

She looked cozy and comfortable in a tan double-breasted cashmere overcoat, matching tan suede platform boots and a long white dress.
She also carried an adorable Chihuahua — which wore a cute navy sweater — in her arms like a baby.
Garth was also asked if the Academy should issue some kind of apology for leaving Doherty out of the in memoriam segment, to which she replied ‘maybe.’

Although the Oscars left Shannen out of the broadcast, she is notably listed on the Academy’s in memoriam segment of its website.
It’s unclear if the organization simply forgot to include her, or if it opted to leave her out because, though she appeared in several films throughout her career of more than 40 years, the vast majority of her screen time was on television.
Doherty’s film roles in the early and mid-1980s were all small supporting parts, and it wasn’t until 1989’s Heathers that she had a more substantial supporting part as one of the eponymous high schoolers.
She had a significant part in Kevin Smith’s 1995 comedy Mallrats, but several of her roles in high-profile films — including the third Naked Gun film, Gregg Araki’s Nowhere and Smith’s Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back — were cameo roles, in which she sometimes even played herself.
By contrast, she had a main cast role on television as early as 1982 for season nine of Little House On The Prairie.

It’s unclear if the omission was accidental, or on purpose, as Doherty was far better known for her TV roles. By contrast, most of her film roles were small supporting parts or cameos, aside from a few exceptions, including her major supporting part in Heathers (pictured)
She was also part of the main casts on the mid-’80s series Our House, before scoring her most famous role as Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1990.
She was featured on the soapy drama for its first four seasons, and then joined the lead trio on Charmed for its first three seasons, beginning in 1998.
Shannen later returned to the rebooted 90210 in 2008 for a seven-episode run, and she had numerous guest appearances and major roles in TV movies up through 2021.
Doherty was far more prolific in TV than in film, as she only appeared in a handful of films in the 2000s, and her work from the 2010s on was primarily in low-budget, direct-to-video releases.
