Oscar 2018 pays a tribute to Bollywood actors Shashi Kapoor and Sridevi

This year at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony, set to Eddie Vedder performing a Tom Petty song live, 'In Memoriam' remembered former James Bond Sir Roger Moore, French star Jeanne Moreau, actors Martin Landau and Harry Dean Stanton, actor and playwright Sam Shepard, and directors George Romero and Jonathan Demme. Bollywood stars Shashi Kapoor and Sridevi were also there in the 'Memoriam' montage, which pays tribute to everyone the film industry has lost in the past year. Sridevi, 54, died suddenly two weekends ago in Dubai. Some of her finest performances are in the films “Sadma,” “Mr India,” “Chandni” and “English Vinglish.” Shashi Kapoor was also familiar to international cine-goers. He starred in several Merchant-Ivory films of the 60s, 70s and 80s, like “The Householder,” “Shakespeare Wallah” and “Heat And Dust.” One of his last films, 1993's “In Custody,” was also a Merchant-Ivory production. James Ivory, one-half of the collaborative team, won an Oscar today for Best Adapted Screenplay for the film “Call Me By Your Name.” Both Shashi Kapoor and Sridevi, who were Padma awardees, were cremated with state honours.
