There are arguments and outrage across the 'net tonight as a lot of folks, many of whom did not watch the Emmy Awards, complain about who was left out of the "In Memoriam" segment that was aired. I didn't see it and I don't have a lot of attention to give to that inevitable matter.
But I did just look at this video which the Television Academy has up on its website. It's their full list of those we lost in the last year who had some connection to television. Someone will surely note some omissions on this long, long list which even without photos — just scrolling a list of names — runs six minutes and 43 seconds. I'm sure they didn't intend it to be an answer to those who wonder why the on-air video with photos and time for applause can't include everyone…but it is.
I hope this doesn't sound morbid but I watched the whole thing and was amazed how many people I knew, many of whom I worked with, have passed in the period this covers. I run a lot of obits on my blog but there must have been a dozen names on that crawl that caused me to think, "Oh, I didn't know that person had died." Just for that information alone, I'm glad I watched the entire thing.
