TV actor primarily and didn't he die this year, i.e. not 2025?
They missed out David Soul 2 years ago as well
The Host got shut down… Trying to dig for drama… lolllll… Duh, he wasnt a movie star😂
MCSTEAMY WAS THE FREAKING BEST
Oh shes right!
What Movie was he in please name it All I rember was TV so if you can't shut up
Eric Dane is an actor with movies and tv series. Same with James
If you are an actor aren’t you apart of everything. Emmys, Oscar and even the Tony’s. It’s like the music industry say Spanish artists aren’t in music. It just sounds crazy.
He will not be left out of the Emmys. The Oscars is film.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for clearing that up for the whiny people who misunderstood.
Movies vs TV. Thank you. ❤
That was a goos answer.
The biggest showmaker in Hollywood
Hmmm
Epstein files bad
Yeah figures the reaction
And also Malcom Jamal Warner they left out
He was in bad boys 3 as the bad guy if you film buffs remember
He is a movie star. His role in the movie, Valentine's Day, is well portrayed and very significant. He will be missed!
But giorgio armani was in memoriam!!! And let's not forget they snubbed james van der beek as well.
He died in 2026…not 2025
That's a great point, Shonda
Hes played huge roles in movies she doesnt even know him hes literally the main villain in recent badboys like wtf 😂
Loads of people die every day and don't get an awards show tribute. stop the celebrity worship- it's insane
I disagree….. Strongly disagree. Hollywood is Hollywood, and if your work is done on camera and you are filmed, then you should be mentioned, along with your work, whether it's on TV or in movies. Plus, you are a celebrity coming from that. When it comes to the "Hollywood Walk of Fame," when your name is recognized by your work, then that should seal the deal that it doesn't matter if you are on TV or on in movies because you are a recognizable celebrity.
She A wonderful person, and so talented.
The thing is he was in Movies, not just a TV actor. Maybe not many big movies, but he was a star in well known movies Burlesque, Marley and Me, X-Men, Bad Boys.
He was mentioned❤
He was in movies
I noticed that too and I was thinking the same.
She atat defending yt men
He is not a movie actor ??? Hmm ok let's see her was in
X men
Burlesque
Valentines day
Bad boys
Marley and me
American carnage
Open water
And those are just the known movies hes been in … he definitely deserved 3 seconds on that screen
But also he died this yr right, I'll give them the benefit of a doubt and think that they are very strict about only including plp that passed in the previous yr.
