The 2026 Emmy Awards include a tribute to Catherine O’Hara, featuring Macaulay Culkin alongside Dan Levy and Annie Murphy. The segment presents O’Hara as more than her best-known roles, with Culkin and the Schitt’s Creek cast honoring her impact through personal and professional reflections.
Multiple outlets describe the tone as emotional, noting that Culkin appears moved during the tribute. One report also places O’Hara’s death in early January and says she has been recognized in other award settings since then, including a posthumous Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) honor.
While the outlets agree on the core event—O’Hara being celebrated at the Emmys by Culkin and Schitt’s Creek stars—coverage varies slightly in emphasis. Some focus on the tribute’s performers and on-screen connections, while others stress Culkin’s framing of O’Hara’s legacy beyond her “Home Alone” character.
