See the 2020 Oscars’ ‘In Memoriam’ that honored Kobe Bryant

Spike Lee’s suit wasn’t the only tribute to Kobe Bryant on Sunday night at the 2020 Oscars.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was also the first face that viewers and the crowd of Hollywood’s biggest names saw at the Dolby Theatre when the Academy Awards did its annual “in memoriam” segment.

While Billie Eilish sang a cover of The Beatles’ Yesterday, Bryant holding his Oscar for Dear Basketball was on screen, along with a quote from a 2008 interview: “Life is too short to get bogged down and be discouraged. You have to keep moving. You have to keep going.”

Here’s the moment:

Bryant was also mentioned in a speech when his animated short, Hair Love, won. Former NFL wide receiver Matthew Cherry accepted the award and dedicated it to Bryant: “May we all have a second act as great as his was.”
