Tribute to Michael Jackson at the Oscars
Michael always had an interest in filmmaking, and his music videos—more like exciting short films—are proof of that. He bought the Oscar statue of Gone with the Wind for the highest price imaginable (more than one million dollars).
Michael intended that after finishing the This Is It concert tour, he would try his luck in the filmmaking category and maybe win one of these statues under his own name at the Oscars. But fate decided to honor him in a different way.
At the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony held last night, singer James Taylor came on stage to sing in memory of members of the past “film industry family.” Behind him, images of these late artists were shown, and Michael’s image—just like always—brought cheers from the audience.
