Fans Call Out Emmys for Omitting Dick Gregory, Charlie Murphy From in Memorium Tribute Segment

Following the touching memorial montage of recently deceased Hollywood stars, a slew of viewers took to social media to point out a few forgotten names.

Former TV legends Dick Gregory, Charlie Murphy, Harry Dean Stanton and Frank Vincent were all left out of the tribute.

The snub had many Twitter users expressing their frustrations online, ripping the Emmys apart for not acknowledging other important figures in black culture.

Rapper Common took it upon himself to do what the Emmys should have done. He wrote on Twitter,
