The in memoriam segment at the Academy Awards opened not with a Hollywood star, but with a clip of Aleksei A. Navalny from “Navalny,” the Oscar-winning 2022 documentary about the Russian opposition leader who died last month in a Russian prison. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing,” read a quote of Navalny’s on the screen. Taking a moment to recognize those in the film industry who have died since the previous Oscars ceremony, the telecast also paid tribute to stars such as Harry Belafonte, the barrier-breaking performer and activist, and Chita Rivera, the Broadway star who also appeared in films, as well as filmmakers such as Norman Jewison, the lauded director behind “In the Heat of the Night,” “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Moonstruck.”

Norman Jewison, 97Norman Jewison. Doug Griffin/Toronto Star/GettyThe legendary director was best known for his eclectic filmography that included the drama "In the Heat of the Night," the musical "Fiddler of the Roof," and the beloved comedy "Moonstruck," all of which garnered him best director nominations at the Oscars. The Canadian filmmaker's specialty was getting top-notch performances out of A-list actors like Steve McQueen ("The Thomas Crown Affair") and Denzel Washington ("The Hurricane"). Twelve actors received nominations over his 40-year career, with five of his movies earning best picture noms. Jewison died on January 20.

NEW YORK (AP) — Norman Jewison, the acclaimed and versatile Canadian-born director whose Hollywood films ranged from Doris Day comedies and “Moonstruck” to social dramas such as the Oscar-winning "In the Heat of the Night," has died at age 97. Throughout his long career, Jewison combined light entertainment with topical films that appealed to him on a deeply personal level. (Jewison lost out for best director to Mike Nichols of "The Graduate"). Among those who encouraged Jewison while making “In the Heat of the Night”: Robert F. Kennedy, whom the director met during a ski trip in Sun Valley, Idaho. Jewison shifted to feature films in 1963 with the comedy “40 Pounds of Trouble,” starring Tony Curtis and Suzanne Pleshette.

The oeuvre of director Norman Jewison, who died this past weekend at the age of 97, can’t be simply categorized. Here are some films of his available to stream, no matter your mood. Without telling his wife, Judy Kimball (Day), George goes about trying to make sure she is set for when he dies, including finding her a new man to marry when he’s gone. It’s a classically zany rom-com from the era, but the film also shows Day and Hudson at their most vulnerable as they untangle all these complications. It’s a sign of what was to come from Jewison, who always found the emotional core of his characters and allowed actors to do some of their best work.

His death was confirmed by a spokesman for the family, Jeff Sanderson. He declined to specify where Mr. Jewison lived, saying that the family requested privacy. Mr. Jewison, whose career began in Canadian television and spanned more than 50 years, was, like his close friend Sidney Lumet and a select few other directors, best known for making films that addressed social issues. The most celebrated of those was “In the Heat of the Night” (1967), one of his earliest features and his first Oscar-winning film. It went on to win five Academy Awards, including best picture and best actor, for Mr. Steiger.

Actriţa americană premiată cu Oscar Olympia Dukakis, veterană a teatrului care a cunoscut faima după ce a interpretat roluri memorabile în filme din anii 80, precum "Moonstruck" şi "Steel Magnolias", a încetat din viaţă la vârsta de 89 de ani, informează Agerpres. Dukakis, care a jucat de asemenea în "Look Who's Talking" şi "Mr. Holland's Opus", a decedat în locuinţa sa din oraşul New York. "Iubita mea soră, Olympia Dukakis, a murit în această dimineaţă în oraşul New York", a scris fratele ei, Apollo, care a confirmat decesul actriţei pe pagina de Facebook. Greek America Foundation, organizaţie pe care actriţa a susţinut-o multă vreme, a oferit cei 30.000 de dolari necesari pentru acest demers, notează DPA. Născută în Lowell, Massachusetts, Statele Unite, la 20 iunie 1931, Dukakis a fost fiica unor imigranţi din sudul Greciei.
