Fans were outraged when Shelly Duvall was left out of the 76th Emmy Awards' In Memoriam segment, calling the omission “disrespectful,” according to TMZ. Despite the backlash, her partner Dan Gilroy isn't overly upset. He believes the exclusion may have been an oversight, given the segment's advance planning, and he downplays its significance compared to their recent struggles. Dan expressed appreciation for the fans’ support and urged them not to get too worked up, as he views the situation as minor in the grand scheme of things.
