On social media platforms, including YouTube, viewers voiced their frustrations, labeling the omission as "disrespectful" and "shameful."
One fan commented, "Leaving Michelle Trachtenberg out of the Oscars In Memoriam was a huge oversight. She was a talented actress who deserved recognition."
As of now, The Academy has not publicly addressed Michelle Trachtenberg's exclusion from the 97th Oscars "In Memoriam" segment. The selection is handled by a confidential committee that considers factors like prominence in film, award history, and personal biases. Notably, Gene Hackman, who passed after Trachtenberg, was included.
