During the Jussi gala held on Friday, a poignant In Memoriam segment honored the memory of deceased actors and film industry figures. The tribute included a musical performance accompanied by a visual display of the faces of those who have passed away. Notably, the gala honored Olga Temonen, who succumbed to cancer last November, with her lifespan displayed on the large screen, indicating her years from 1978 to 2025.

The segment also remembered other notable figures, including musician and Jussi-awarded actor Silu Seppälä, who died in September 2025 in Lappeenranta, as well as the esteemed Jussi-awarded Elina Salo, who passed away at the age of 89 last November. These tributes reflect the impact these individuals had on Finnish cinema and the arts, showcasing the Jussi gala's dedication to remembering and celebrating their contributions.

In January, Olga Temonen received the Audience Award for Best Performer at the Venla gala for her role in the series Harjunpää. This recognition underscored her talent and popularity, with a heartfelt message from her family expressing gratitude to voters and her colleagues in Harjunpää. Such accolades serve as a testament to her legacy in Finnish entertainment, remembering her not only for her loss but also for her significant achievements in the industry.
