James Van Der Beek, Diane Keaton & More Honored During Actor Awards 2026 In Memoriam | E! News
Hollywood came together to honor the legendary talents we lost this year during the moving “In Memoriam” segment at the 2026 Actor Awards on March 1. The segment opened with a remembrance of James Van Der Beek, who passed away in February at age 48 after battling colorectal cancer. The tribute continued with a look back at Eric Dane, the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ alum who died February 19 following his fight with ALS, featuring a powerful moment from one of his most memorable performances. Dozens of beloved stars, including Rob Reiner, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Malcolm‑Jamal Warner, were also honored for their contributions to film and television over the past decades. The segment also celebrated the life of Catherine O’Hara, who died Jan. 30 at age 71. Her memory was further elevated by an emotional tribute from co‑star Seth Rogen, who accepted her posthumous Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. In his heartfelt speech, he praised her rare combination of genius and genuine kindness. Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1428483/james-van-der-beek-dead-michelle-williams-tribute
