During the 2017 Emmys, an "in memoriam" presentation played remembering those who had died during the past year, but a few important names were left off.
During the 2017 Emmys, an “in memoriam” presentation played remembering those who had died during the past year, but a few important names wereleft off the list.
Dick Gregory, Charlie Murphy, Harry Dean Stanton and Frank Vincent all passed away this year, but their names and faces were left off the presentation at the Emmys. This despite the fact that all four men were involved in television at some point or another during their careers.
The omissions didn’t go unnoticed, either, with a few people, such as Common, pointing them out.
“Thinking of my brothers Dick Gregory + Charlie Murphy. I’ll never forget you. I miss you both. #Emmys,” Common wrote on Twitter.
