Little Watched Emmy Awards Show Snubs Action Star Chuck Norris During ‘In Memoriam’ Segment

The 78th Annual Emmy Awards’ ‘In Memoriam’ segment did not include action star Chuck Norris, who passed away in March. Many viewers suspect the omission was deliberate due to Norris’s conservative Christian political views, a move that has drawn criticism given past instances of Hollywood awards shows singling out individuals over politics. The article also notes a significant drop in viewership for this year’s Emmy Awards.

• Chuck Norris was excluded from the Emmy Awards’ ‘In Memoriam’ segment.
• Norris, a veteran, Christian, and conservative, passed away in March.
• Speculation suggests the snub was politically motivated due to his conservative views.
• Other notable figures omitted from the segment include Nicholas Brendon, Patrick Muldoon, Jaye P. Morgan, Daveigh Chase, and Grizz Chapman.
• Ratings for the 78th Emmy Awards reportedly fell by 9 percent from the previous year, with 6.7 million viewers.
• The shift from Sunday to Monday night broadcast is suggested as a potential factor in the ratings decline.
