After the 'Oscar-2025' ceremony, social media was flooded with messages from dissatisfied fans. Many noticed that in the tribute video dedicated to deceased artists, Michelle Trachtenberg, Shannen Doherty, and Alain Delon were not mentioned.
Angry fans lashed out at the event's producers. A user on "X" with the nickname DustinPutman wrote:
Others noted that the producers overlooked many deceased stars:DustinPutmanThe absence of Shannen Doherty — the star of one of the greatest films 'Heathers' — in the 'In Memoriam' list is an outrageous slap. She was a pioneer in standing up for herself and speaking her mind at a time when women in the industry were expected to be silent.
So many people were forgotten. But in my eyes and heart, she (Shannen) will always be a winner..

Why the actors weren't included in the video
It turned out that the producers were not at fault. The decision to include actors in the video list is made by a special secret committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which includes representatives from various sectors of the film industry.How is the selection process conducted? There are no clear rules, reports Hollywood Reporter. The emphasis is on recognition in the field of cinema, not, for example, television. Priority is given to Oscar winners and other Academy award recipients. The limited time of the video—about four minutes—means it's impossible to mention everyone.
It's noteworthy that neither Shannen Doherty, nor Michelle Trachtenberg , nor Alain Delon are award recipients. Furthermore, they were never nominated.
Causes of death
Recall that Doherty passed away on July 13, 2024. The Hollywood actress died after a long battle with cancer. She was 53 years old. Shannen herself admitted that she was consciously preparing for her death.Alain Delon died in August of the same year. The star of "Le Samouraï" and "The Swimming Pool" passed away at the age of 88 at his mansion in Douchy, surrounded by his loved ones—children Alain-Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, and his beloved dog Loubo.
