Oscars’ In Memoriam segment will be extended
The Oscars will be saying farewell to a lot of cinema titans, and taking more time to do so.
Among them are Robert Duvall, Robert Redford, Diane Keaton and Rob Reiner.
Other talents who died in the last year include Brigitte Bardot, Val Kilmer, Michael Madsen, Terence Stamp, Diane Ladd, Sally Kirkland, Tom Stoppard and Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
Already this year, the film world has lost Catherine O’Hara, Robert Carradine, Eric Dane, James Van Der Beek and Bud Cort.
Among the foreign talents who died were Joan Plowright, Claudia Cardinale, Dharmendra, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Mohammad Bakri, Béla Tarr and Jimmy Cliff.
Given the large number of bold-faced names, producers have decided the In Memoriam segment will be longer than usual.
Assembling the segment involves deciding who gets placed in what order, choosing music and the graphic design of the names and titles, as well as where pauses are built in for the select giants of the film world.
It’s up to the academy to decide who is included, which often leads to outcries about who gets excluded.
A surprise moment of humor in ‘Hamnet’
Maggie O’Farrell, who wrote the book that was adapted into Chloé Zhao’s best picture nominee, said she knew the movie wouldn’t be a “conventional, antiseptic kind of costume drama.” One scene in particular read differently from her novel: Will’s proposal.
“They make it really funny, which I never expected it to be,” O’Farrell said.
