A trivial matter, but the people who run the Academy Awards will have to quickly revise the “in memorium” portion of the Oscars.......
They may save Hackman’s death until next year’s Oscars ceremony. The awards this coming weekend will probably honor those who died during 2024.
I was thinking about this. The “in memoriam” portion always honors those who died during the previous year but whenever someone dies really close to the telecast date, it always puts the academy in the awkward position of once again needing to explain this.
In the case of Hackman, he was such a monumental figure in Hollywood, they might just squeeze him in, putting the academy in another awkward position of why they included Hackman while saving Michelle Trachtenberg, who died the previous day, for next year’s segment.
