Oscars Snub: Shannen Doherty Omitted from 'In Memoriam,' Sparks Outrage

The 97th Academy Awards sparked controversy after failing to include the late Shannen Doherty in its 'In Memoriam' segment. Doherty, known for her roles in 'Beverly Hills, 90210' and 'Charmed,' passed away on July 13, 2024, at the age of 53 after a battle with breast cancer. The omission drew criticism from fans and fellow celebrities, including Jennie Garth, Doherty's former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' co-star, who called the snub "messed up" and suggested the Academy should apologize. Several other notable figures, including Michelle Trachtenberg, Tony Todd, were also absent from the tribute, further fueling the backlash. The Academy has yet to comment on the omissions.
