The Oscars have paid tribute to the actor Bill Paxton at this year’s Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
Speaking ahead of the annual In Memoriam montage, Jennifer Aniston remembered the actor, with a crack in her voice.
The announcement of Paxton’s sudden death aged 61 from complications after heart surgery cast a shadow over the 89th Oscars ceremony.
The announcement came too late for Paxton to be included in the traditional In Memoriam montage in which the Academy remembers those film industry luminaries who have died over the previous year.
