Eric Dane’s family is feeling a certain way after he was left out of the Oscars.
The 98th Academy Awards came and went on Sunday, and with it came the ever heartbreaking In Memoriam segment. Some of Hollywood’s greatest sadly passed away in the last year — Rob and Michele Reiner, Diane Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, and many, many more. But while those names were all highlighted on the Dolby Theatre stage during the main broadcast, Eric was notably left out. And his family has thoughts.

On Tuesday, a source close to the fam told TMZ Rebecca Gayheart was “saddened” to not see his face pop up during the main broadcast:
“It was a year of profound loss for the industry.”
Fans were quick to take issue with the snub, which extended to James Van Der Beek, Robert Carradine, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Julian McMahon, Brigitte Bardot, and others. However, some pointed out Eric was known for his roles “in television rather than film.”
Whatever the thought process may be behind the final decision, those snubbed were all highlighted on the Oscars’ official In Memoriam page, which reportedly brings Rebecca and their two daughters Billie and Georgia comfort.
