Television Academy In Memoriam 2022
Every year, the Emmy Awards and the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremonies each present an In Memoriam video. Given only a few minutes to honor those who have passed, there is a limit on how many people can be acknowledged on the broadcasts.
As part of our Backstage LIVE! behind-the-scenes online show we've presented a more extensive video, listing the hundreds of names of television colleagues we've lost in the past year.
