The Screen Actors Guild's newly re-dubbed Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, wouldn't be complete without a stirring segment paying tribute to the exemplars of the craft who died in 2025. But Sunday's "In Memoriam" itself wasn't entirely complete.

The segment soundtracked to a live rendition of Paul Young's "Everytime You Go Away" omitted several major stars, including Hulk Hogan, *The Soprano*'s Jerry Adler, *The Walking Dead*'s Kelley Mack, legendary Palestinian actor and director Mohammad Bakri, *Vice Principals *standout Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Cannes-winning French actress Émilie Dequenne, *Our Gang *child star Sidney Kibrick, and more.

Also left out of the segment broadcast live on Netflix were Maria Riva, the daughter of Marlene Dietrich; *Dynasty *star Betty Harford, *Mulholland Drive *standout Rebekah Del Rio, pioneering indigenous actress Dawn Little Sky, soap actor Mark Dobies, the prolific Lee Weaver, and celebrated musician Marianne Faithfull, who appeared in a number of films and series.

Other missing names included Ed Gale, Jan Schwieterman, Lynne Marie Stewart, Alice Hirson, Lee Joo-sil, Lorna Raver, Michael McStay, Lulu Roman, Damien Thomas, Patrick Adiarte, Brandyn Barbara Artis, Patty Maloney, Rebekah Del Rio, Joe Marinelli, Joanna Bacon, Penelope Milford, Ed Williams, Floyd Levine, Jane Weintraub, Melanie Watson, May Britt, Jonathan Pienaar, John Eimen, and Alice and Ellen Kessler, better known as the Kessler twins.

The Actor Awards tribute did, of course, shine a light on many masters of the craft who died over the past year, including Diane Keaton, Robert Redford, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Gene Hackman, Catherine O'Hara, Rob Reiner, Val Kilmer, Michelle Trachtenberg, June Lockhart, and Loretta Swit.

After the segment concluded, *Sinners *star Miles Caton took to the stage to perform an inspiring version of the gospel classic, "This Little Light of Mine."

O'Hara, who was nominated in two categories for her performance on Seth Rogen's industry satire *The Studio*, died on Jan. 30 at the age of 71. She won both — for her part in the series' ensemble, and for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.

Rogen gave a moving speech in her stead, urging the audience to show their friends and loved ones O'Hara's work, and "tell the people as they're laughing that that's Catherine O'Hara, and we're lucky that we got to live in a world where she so genuinely got to share her talents with us."
