The Emmys had an “In Memoriam” mishap

Yes, right up there with making sure the correct envelope goes out, basic respect for the dead should be done properly. Yet somehow … year after year … awards show after awards show … there’s an “In Memoriam” mishap.
“I saw that @theemmys posted a photo of me ‘In Memoriam’ rather than the intended Andre Previn,” he tweeted. “Andre deserved better. I had the opportunity to introduce him when he received the @KCHonors. Perhaps he was paying me back for a couple stories I told about him.” Handling it much more gracefully than he should, Slatkin simply did the appropriate thing: show respect for Previn and his legacy. Is that so hard, Emmys? The awards show is certainly not the first offender.
