The family of Eric Dane is bummed he was not among the late Hollywood luminaries honored on Sunday night during the Oscars "In Memoriam" segment ... but they get it.

Here's the deal ... fans were pretty pissed that Eric -- along with James Van Der Beek, among others -- was not part of the remembrance portion of the show. We heard from an Academy source that it was not malice ... there just was not enough airtime to include everyone, but they pointed out all are honored online.

A source close to Rebecca Gayheart tells TMZ ... the family was "saddened" not to see him included in the main broadcast, but they understand ... "It was a year of profound loss for the industry."

It ain't just Oscars security catching heat from Teyana Taylor ... she's also got beef with viewers who thought her OTT reaction to Amy Madigan winning Best Supporting Actress over her was actually low-key shade.

Teyana jumped on X after someone posted the clip and dragged her enthusiastic reaction ... and she fired back, insisting she was simply showing real sportsmanship -- something she suggested the world’s gotten uncomfortable with because people are so used to sore losers.

Teyana compared folks' misery to "holy water touching a demon," while also dropping a little life lesson in the process ... telling followers to "win with grace & pure joy" and "lose with grace, chin up & dignity."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences knows people are pissed about perceived snubs during last night's Oscars in memoriam ... but there's nothing cold-hearted about it, TMZ is told.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues for the show's in memoriam segment. Through those, an executive committee representing every branch considers the list ... and makes recommendations for the telecast based on the limited run of show time. All the submissions are included on Oscars.org -- and remain there for the year.

As we reported ... there was some serious backlash online after Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, among a few others, were omitted from the segment ... with people asking how these snubs seem to happen year after year.

Despite being awarded a historic 16 nominations, "Sinners" lost the Best Picture Oscar to "One Battle After Another."

The win prompted Teyana Taylor to almost tackle director, Paul Thomas Anderson, as he headed to the stage to collect a statuette -- his third on the night after being named Best Director and winning for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The Best Picture win was the 6th of the night for "One Battle After Another" ... which nabbed a record 13 nominations back in January.

Timothée Chalamet brought the ladies in his life to a "Marty Supreme" event Monday night ... with both his GF Kylie Jenner and his mom Nicole making an appearance.

The actor attended a special screening of his Oscar-nominated film at DGA Theater in L.A. ... and did a live interview afterward onstage for LeBron James and Steve Nash's podcast "Mind The Game."

TMZ obtained video of Chalamet and Jenner hanging out backstage ... chatting with several people -- including fellow Academy Award nominee William H. Macy.

"Sinners" star Omar Miller was riding high after the Actor Awards -- especially over Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor win -- gushing to TMZ that you can’t keep a good man down.

We caught up with Omar -- who played Cornbread in the movie -- after Sunday’s ceremony ... and he made it clear how proud of Michael he is with the huge win. Even with that BAFTA slur drama hanging in the air from last week, he says the moment echoed the trauma and themes baked into the film itself.

Check the full clip -- Omar gives props to Michael for how he handled it all, standing tall next to Delroy Lindo and dealing with it like a true champion.

Michael B. Jordan was cheesin' from ear to ear over that Best Actor win -- and he didn’t waste a second taking the victory lap at The Actor Awards after-party, rolling deep with a swarm of A-listers.

The Netflix-hosted bash was an absolute scene -- Keri Russell was toasting her own trophy, living it up and working the room with "Marty Supreme" costars Odessa A’Zion and Kevin O’Leary.

It turned into a straight-up Hollywood roll call ... "The White Lotus" faves Michelle Monaghan and Aimee Lou Wood making the rounds, while "The Pitt" star Noah Wyle was also out celebrating a big win.

Big names like Teyana Taylor, Timothée Chalamet, and Kate Hudson showed up and showed out at the Beverly Hilton in L.A. Tuesday morning ... turning the daytime 98th Oscars Nominees Luncheon into a full-blown fashion flex!

The men came suited, booted, and dangerously handsome ... with Jacob Elordi and Leonardo DiCaprio leading the pack like it was a red carpet rehearsal.

Emma Stone was back in familiar territory, while other heavy hitters like Elle Fanning and Michael B. Jordan also pulled up, proving awards season is already in full swing.

Colossal news for Ryan Coogler’s "Sinners" ... the horror flick just made Oscar history with a massive 16 nominations!

"Sinners" officially blows past the longtime three-way record of 14 noms held by "All About Eve," "Titanic," and "La La Land" ... and you can bet the cast and crew were losing it after Thursday morning’s announcement.

The haul includes Best Picture, Michael B. Jordan for Leading Actor, Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo for Supporting Actress and Actor ... and even a nod in the brand-new Best Casting category.

It’s officially Teyana Taylor’s world and we’re all just living in it ... especially 'cause her star is ridin' high after her massive Golden Globes win -- which she’s breaking it down for us!

TMZ caught up with the freshly crowned award winner Thursday at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC, where she opened up about the night that broke the internet ... starting with that viral hangout sesh with Julia Roberts.

You’ve gotta see the clip, because the "One Battle After Another" star spills exactly what the two were chatting about in that blink-and-you-missed-it moment.

The award statuettes weren't the only things shining at the Golden Globes ... the celebs dazzled as they walked the red carpet -- and we have pics of all the hottest looks.

Teyana Taylor struck one good pose after another as she arrived in a strappy black dress as a nominee in the Best Supporting Actress for a Motion Picture category .... while Ariana Grande wowed in a jet black off-the-shoulder gown and Jennifer Lopez added another iconic look to her resume in a spectacular skintight dress, showing off her ageless figure.

Priyanka Chopra absolutely dazzled in custom Dior while Jeannie Mai showed legs for days in a sexy, and elegant Tony Ward creation.

Nikki Glaser came out swinging as the host of the 2026 Golden Globes ... taking down CBS News and its new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss in one fell swoop.

She quipped, "The award for Most Editing goes to CBS News! Yes, CBS News -- America's newest place to see B.S. news."

ICYMI ... Bari stirred up a lot of controversy by killing a "60 Minutes" segment hours before it was scheduled to air. The report focused on the treatment of Venezuelan deportees from the United States to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison, but Bari told The Hollywood Reporter it "was not ready" to see the light of day.

Hide the PR teams and clutch those egos ... 'cause Nikki Glaser is back hosting the Golden Globes, and she’s warning Hollywood she’s not censoring a single joke!

Nikki caught up with TMZ outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in L.A. Tuesday, where she insisted she’s not out to ruin anyone’s night at Sunday’s Globes -- but don’t get it twisted ... the celeb roasts she’s packing are anything but "safe."

Catch the clip -- 'cause Nikki says she gets both sides of the outrage ... keeping the jokes just safe enough to still lock down that hosting gig for next year.

President Trump is joking about leaving the White House to pursue a career as a "Master of Ceremony" ... and it's all got to do with tonight's Kennedy Center Honors broadcast.

Trump hosted the event a couple weeks ago, but it's going to air tonight ... and he hopped on social media hours before the broadcast with a funny question ... "If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make 'hosting' a full time job?"

Half the country would take that trade in a heartbeat.

Tom Cruise brought down the house at the Governors Awards Sunday night, delivering an emotional acceptance speech about the very thing he does best -- making movies!

The iconic actor was given an Honorary Oscar during the show at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood by Alejandro G. Iñárritu ... who happens to be directing Tom in his next film, an untitled project slated to be released in October 2026.

When Tom stepped onstage, he gave Iñárritu a huge hug and soaked in the rousing applause from the celeb-studded crowd before launching into his speech.
