BAFTA TV viewers were left fuming during Sunday’s ceremony after late actress Catherine O’Hara was snubbed from the show’s In Memoriam segment.
The Beloved Home Alone actress tragically passed away in January at age 71 following a battle with cancer.
Despite her The Studio co-star Seth Rogen paying tribute to her as he collected an award from the show, she was missing from the official In Memoriam later in the show.
Those were featured included Grey’s Anatomy’s Eric Dane, Dawson’s James Van Der Beek as well as Married at First Sight Australia’s Mel Schilling.
Taking to X, fans fumed: ‘Where was the legend Catherine O’Hara in the tributes? they always do this. Miss someone out’: ‘@BAFTA massive error -missing Catherine O’Hara’: ‘Why no mention of Catherine O’Hara?’.
A BAFTA spokesperson told Daily Mail that Catherine was remembered at the 2026 Film Awards In Memoriam please.

Seth took to the stage to collect the gong for the hit series in the International category and dedicated the win to Catherine.
He said on stage: ‘I’d be remiss not to mention one of the key parts of the show, Catherine O’Hara.
‘She meant so much to all of us. I assume her work has been so important to you all over here as it was to us. So this is for Catherine.’
Beloved Home Alone actress Catherine passed away in January at age 71 and played Patty Leigh in The Studio.
At the Actor Awards in March, Catherine posthumously won the Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her work on the show.
Seth accepted the award on her behalf and said: ‘I’ve been given the sad honor of accepting this award on O’Hara’s behalf.
‘I know she would have been honored to receive this award from her fellowperformers, who I know she respected so much. She was such big fans of all of yours.
‘I, obviously, have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her, working with her, and something that I’ve just been marveling at over the last few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind, while never ever minimizing her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing.’
