88th Academy Awards pay tribute to Kirk Kerkorian (video)
The 88th Academy Awards paid tribute to Armenian-American billionaire and philanthropist, the late three-time owner of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Stars of the movie world, who died in the last 12 months, were honoured at the Oscars on Sunday night, with a moving tribute. Every year, the Academy rolls clips of those members and other important film figures who died since the last Oscars. During the 2016 Oscars, actor and Oscar winner Louis Gossett, Jr. introduced the In Memoriam tribute as Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters performed The Beatles hit "Blackbird." Once again, The Oscars took time to honor the many talents who died during the previous year, with Alan Rickman, Robert Loggia, Christopher Lee, Wes Craven, David Bowie, and Dean Jones and many other recognisable faces on the list.
