Emmys In Memoriam: Leonard Nimoy & More Honored With Moving Tribute

So touching. At the 2015 Emmy Awards, the show paid tribute to all the television titans we’ve lost this year. Legendary actors Leonard Nimoy, Jan Hooks and Joan Rivers were honored, along with many others, and it was a poignant reminder of how much they will be missed.

It’s always the most heart wrenching portion of the Emmy Awards: the in memoriam tribute. At the 2015 show, on Sept. 20, that definitely remained true. As the faces of all those television contributors we lost this year flashed before our eyes, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” accompanied the montage, adding to the somber tone. Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy, who passed away in February, was acknowledged as was SNL star Jan Hooks and legendary behind the scenes players Wes Craven and Mike Nichols. There was not a dry eye in the house, however, the brief moment of remembrance was a fantastic way to honor all of these heavy hitters.
