Kobe Bryant<\/a><\/strong> was not forgotten on the 2020 Oscars<\/a> red carpet. <\/p>\n

Spike Lee<\/a><\/strong> arrived for the night wearing a custom Gucci suit that clearly serves as a tribute to the late basketball legend, who died<\/a> two weeks ago in a helicopter crash. The suit is the Lakers’ purple and yellow, with #24 on the lapels and emblazoned on the back. He also sported a pair of Kobe’s Nike hightops in honor of his friend. <\/p>\n

Spike and Kobe go way back. In 2009, Spike directed Kobe Doin’ Work<\/em>, a documentary that followed the star athlete around for a day during the 2007-2008 Lakers season, and the director was clearly hit hard by Kobe’s death. <\/p>\n

He joined Ryan Seacrest for a brief interview on the carpet ahead of tonight’s show, and didn’t even have words when Seacrest asked how he was doing. He could only answer with a sad shrug. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Spike Lee won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay last year for BlacKkKlansman<\/em>, and he was so excited at the time that he jumped into Samuel L. Jackson<\/a><\/strong>‘s arms on stage. <\/p>\n

“Jumping up into my brother Sam Jackson’s arms, and he didn’t let me go, but this is a year later,” he said. “A lot of things changed, so I’m happy to be here. I’m going to present and enjoy myself.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

He plans to continue focusing on working hard in the coming months. <\/p>\n

“I just gotta continue to do my work,” he said. “Gotta keep it going. When you have a profession that you love, that makes all the difference in the world. You’re winning. When you’re making money doing what you love, it’s a blessing.” <\/p>\n

He’ll be presenting an award later tonight. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
