The 2020 Oscars will pay tribute to Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash last month at the age of 41.
Producers from the awards show revealed on Wednesday that the legendary NBA star will be remembered during the In Memoriam segment. Bryant was one of nine passengers on board the helicopter, along with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, who also died in the crash in Calabasas, California.
“I think the In Memoriam segment has always been an important part of the show and this year is no different in that we’re honoring all of our community that we’ve lost,” producer Stephanie Allain explains. “I think what’s really appropriate is that Kobe was part of the film community, and as such, he will be embraced within the In Memoriam segment.”
