Taking to X, one wrote, \u201cThey going up on stage and not saying about Anthony and Michelle properly, with names, paying tribute is outrageous, ridiculous to say at least.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another agreed, \u201cFor reals. They had time for a bit about Buffy and Angel, but couldn&#8217;t say anything special about Anthony, or Michelle? That would have been a nicer tribute to the show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9028\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9028\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-4.jpg\" alt=\"Giles, Dawn and Buffy in Buffy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-4-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-4-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Disney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The criticism continued during the In Memoriam segment later in the ceremony. While Head was included, Brendon was noticeably absent from the televised tribute, although he does appear in the Television Academy&#8217;s online In Memoriam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for Brendon&#8217;s omission hasn&#8217;t been confirmed. But some fans have pointed out his well-documented history of legal issues before his death, including arrests involving domestic violence. In 2015, he pleaded guilty following an incident involving his then-girlfriend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been theorised that this is why Gellar and Boreanaz\u2019s speech didn\u2019t mention any of the late actors\u2019 names.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9029\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9029\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-4.jpg\" alt=\"Angel, Buffy and Xander in Buffy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-4-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-4-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Disney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s because of Nicholas Brendon\u2019s abusive history,\u201d wrote one. \u201cIf they had called out Michelle, Tony, even Dolly but left off Nicholas, the fans would\u2019ve been furious. If they had mentioned Nicholas then another group would\u2019ve been upset. They did it the classiest way they could.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth reiterating that this isn\u2019t confirmed, and there\u2019s also no indication Gellar or Boreanaz personally made the decision not to name their late co-stars. \u201cThey follow an approved script,\u201d wrote one viewer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
