Was he ever in many movies?
He was a TV star, I assume he would get included for the Emmys.
I agree and they will likely address it that way “star is associated with tv, etc” to avoid it. Sometimes, however, they will do it to avoid mentioning stars who commit suicide or have problematic deaths (Brad Renfro was famously snubbed by the Oscar tribute). I’ve seen the emmy’s likewise ignore deceased actors.
They put him on the website memoriam.

Was he not woke enough for the televised version?
“Was he ever in many movies?”
“Saget himself was an Oscar winner, scoring a student Academy Award in 1977 for his black-and-white documentary, ‘Through Adam’s Eyes.’”
He was in over two dozen theatrical movies: https://www.imdb.com/filmosearch/?explore=genres&role=nm0756114&ref_=filmo_ref_typ&sort=moviemeter,asc&mode=detail&page=1&title_type=movie
I don’t think he was in movies, just TV.
