The Oscars will pay tribute to Gene Hackman on Sunday’s show, which takes place only four days after the bodies of the actor and his wife were discovered in their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
An individual who works on the show and has knowledge of the plans told TheWrap that the late actor, a five-time Oscar nominee and two-time winner, will receive a tribute on the show. It is believed that he will most likely be added to the In Memoriam segment of the ceremony, although typically that film would have been locked a week or two prior to the show.
