It happens every single year.
The In Memoriam segment is a little bit awkward to begin with, considering that people cheer at certain names. But it becomes even more uncomfortable when the audience realizes that the production team forgot to include notable names.
Sunday's 2015 Emmy Awards was no different. The ceremony paid tribute to many of TV's beloved figures, including stars, producers and broadcasters. Included in the segment were Joan Rivers, Edward Herrmann, Wes Craven, ESPN's Stuart Scott and Simpsons producer Sam Simon. Production chose to end the tribute with a clip of Leonard Nimoy saying his famous line, "Live long and prosper," which the Internet collectively agreed was the classiest, most wonderful choice.
But that didn't stop people from noticing those who didn't make the cut. So far, it seems at least five people didn't make the list: Christopher Lee, Alton "Ben" Powers, James Horner, Yvonne Craig and Roddy Piper.
Lee died in June, and even though he was better known for his film work, which includes the Lord of the Rings movies, he had recurring roles in TV series such as The New Adventures of Robin Hood and Charlie's Angels. He also appeared in The Avengers.
Powers starred in the final season of Good Times and was also a cast member in the variety series Laugh-In. He passed away in April.
Horner, who died in June, was a famous composer who won two Oscars for his Titanic music. He also wrote scores for Apollo 13, Avatar and Braveheart. While he was feted most for his career in film, he also had notable TV credits, including writing the theme for CBS Evening News and Fish Police.
Craig was famous for her role as Batgirl in the 1960s series Batman, which seems like an enormous omission. But because she died in mid-August, it's possible the segment had been completed prior to her passing.
Last but certainly not least, Piper was a wrestler who competed in the WWF but appeared on hit shows such as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Walker Texas Ranger. He also appeared on Cold Case and Breaking In and died in July.
