Why Wasn’t Michelle Trachtenberg Included in the 2025 Oscars In Memoriam?

Actress Michelle Trachtenberg was notably absent from the 2025 Oscars In Memoriam segment, despite her recent passing at age 39 on February 26, 2025. Trachtenberg, known for her roles in films like “17 Again” and “Ice Princess,” as well as TV shows like “Gossip Girl” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” was not included in the tribute, possibly due to not being a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
