Oscars to remember Kobe Bryant in the In Memoriam section

Los Angeles Times

The NBA legend, who won an Oscar two years ago for Best Animated Short Film for Dear Basketball, will be honored during Sunday's ceremony. “The In Memoriam section 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 Lynette Howell Taylor told reporters. “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 section.”
