75th Emmy Awards: In Memoriam Performance

The War and Treaty, and Charlie Puth celebrate the lives and careers of colleagues who have passed away this year.

[@Caricature80]

These In Memoriam tributes are always beautifully done, but I wish they'd find a way to insist no applause until to the end so everyone gets equal treatment.

[@dunjica77]

I always think of this whenever they do these "in memoriam" montages

[@gr8things2See]

I agree, it feels they applauding their demise.

[@diggee172]

Yes. Some wonderful people aren’t well known because they are older or they weren’t on stage. This makes me so sad and makes me feel quite old.

[@christycase2324]

Sad also that the Grammys didn't treat artists that had problems that could drive them to take their own lives as a last resort, like several musical artists who were not mentioned this year.

[@jaylene.turner6524]

Agreed. They should hold the applause until the end.

[@donnalichvarcik5588]

Rip to our beloved entertainment family we will miss you so much rest in heaven

[@Katherine-rq8mk]

Don't understand the level of applause for each

[@timothyleon558]

It’s all spontaneous, and linked directly to who may be closer in age and popularity

[@jonijohnston1688]

I still cannot believe that Matthew Perry is gone 😢 too young 🙏

[@hikergirl56]

Me too. Reading his book now.

[@pumpkinpuna4087]

IKR ?!!! Toby Keith too. ❤ RIP TO EVERYONE !!!!!!

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

The Emmys did a wonderful job in putting together this memorial. I teared up with Paul Reubens. But the tears started falling when Matthew Perry’s photo came up 😢😢.

[@foxycat70]

I started crying as soon as the friends theme started cause I knew he was coming.

[@yoursfaithfully750]

😢damn got me in tears and made me appreciate life even more. Great people big loss. Love you loads Matthew Perry❤

[@darlenenoble7232]

Same here.

[@ivanmay7890]

This might seem a little strange, but I actually like watching the In Memoriam segments of the Emmys and the Oscars. It's a nice way to celebrate those great actors, directors, writers etc. who are no longer with us but are otherwise remembered for their talents.

[@ambercherise2391]

Wow- I actually got choked up. We lost some amazing people this past year.

[@johannahjohari2915]

To the ones we loss ..Thank you for all the memories

Congratulations to the brilliant Steve Hackman who arranged this tribute!! You're incredible to bring in The War and Treaty and Charlie Puth who wrote "See You Again". Your arrangement was VERY BEAUTIFULLY DONE to honor those amazing people we lost in 2023. ❤💚💙

[@jojob211]

I’m 73 and this is the first time I knew who most of these people were. Sad to see so many gone.

[@krisschobelock4973]

I'm 70 and I know what you mean . . I kept sitting her saying oh ya oh no I knew just about all of them -- stinks getting old!! LOL

[@MP-lq3xx]

It disappoints when the memoriam is listed as a 'performance'...wish it was just instrumental music playing, with no shots of the performers - only those lost this year to honor. Also - that was a strange and awkward introduction - Rob esp. looked uncomfortable, however they both seemed ill at ease. The music was great...just wish the performers were not shown...

[@tjwash2]

I’m with you on that. I think many people can’t stand not a moment without visual and audible stimulation.

[@savinggraace]

They both seemed uncomfortable and why were they standing so far apart? It was awkward at best. I could done with no singing, just the music in the background.

[@springdaye4451]

I wish they had included Bobby Caldwell and David Soul

[@The1baddman]

They put Adan Canto from The Cleaning Lady on the Memoriam,but overlooked David Soul who passed away a few days before Adan died

[@LovingShadow-e3k]

I kinda understand why David Soul wasn't shown . Even with computers it still takes a few days to edit and update the graphics. Before computers you had to die in November to make it on the Memorial list.

[@GODDESS1966]

Semplicemente per ipocrisia

[@victoriabell9546]

[@MarvinMoore-q3t]

​@@LovingShadow-e3kThe Emmys for 2023 was delayed, due to the strikes, u remember that, don't u ? , so they didn't go that route, because they couldn't

[@fawnebrown4619]

If they didn't show the people singing on camera a few more artists who passed could and should have been shown. Was a bit of a gut punch seeing Adan Canto's picture up there. His passing was shocking. He kept his battle with cancer private. Still doesn't seem real. RIP to all those we lost.

[@Brainhoneywalker]

Angela Lansbury: When “Murder She Wrote” was at its height of popularity, the trades voted to strike. Her limo pulled up to the strike line and she waved and had her driver make a U-turn and left. She refused to cross the picket line and didn’t come back until the strike ended 3 weeks later.

[@truthfuljones4557]

I still watch her show today.

[@lincolneagle]

@@truthfuljones4557Me too!

[@joneve8347]

That is due to her grandfather, a British politician for the Labour party who fought for the worker's rights and social reform. He will have taught her the value of tge rights of tge worker and the importance of supporting the worker.

[@angemaidment5640]

I remember seeing Angela Lansbury in one of her first films “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. I had read the book years earlier, at school. She was so young, and had such a beautiful voice.

[@frogmansrevenge3550]

The amount of amazing people who passed in 2023 is so sad. Still cant believe that Andre, Matt and Lance are gone. 3 of my favourite actors. I also loved Lance Reddicks voiceover work in videogames too

[@donna2.0designs]

Loved Lance R in Fringe. If you haven't seen it, it's on Max.

Also RIP Barbara Bosson who played Fay Furillo on Hill Street Blues (1981-1987) and passed away in February 2023.

[@eltrueabdul611]

I came here expecting Jason David Frank be honored after dedicating his whole career to the Power Rangers and the influence he gained. At least I know the ones that really matter to him will always remember him... Us. The ones who he fought for. So long, Tommy.

I wish these shows would prohibit applause and just have the audience be silent.

[@carronalee]

😢😮As a true mark of respect, surely the audience could be asked to hold back their applause and cheers throughout this somber part of the ceremony. It’s a bit crass when the people who have passed away are given varying responses based upon how well known they were.
