Stan Lee Was Honored In The "In Memoriam" Tribute Video During Last Night's Oscars Ceremony

During last night's Academy Awards, the annual "In Memoriam" video was played and it included a tribute to legendary Marvel Comics creator Stan "The Man" Lee. You can check it out after the jump...

Black Panther failed to walk away with the top prize during the 91st Academy Awards last night (controversially, that went to Green Book instead) but it was still a very good night for Marvel. 

Each year, there's always someone who seems to be missing from the Oscar's "In Memoriam" segment but, much to the relief of comic book fans everywhere, Stan Lee was indeed included. As you can see below, he was honoured alongside a number of Hollywood greats and the Academy even included a clip from his cameo in X-Men: The Last Stand

It's worth noting that there was no mention of Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. He also passed away last year but didn't play a role in any of the Marvel movies and wasn't anywhere near as well-known. Despite that, his work obviously had a huge impact on Hollywood. 

 
Despite not winning an Academy Award for "Best Picture," both Black Panther and Marvel Studios made history last night and it's put them on the map in an even bigger way than they already were. What did you think about last night's awards show?

I teared up when he and Margot Kidder picture was shown. Plus the John Williams score Leaving Home playing in the background got me right in the feels.

Nice to see Stan get a mention in such an important event, its so sad when you see people you grew up with dying, thankfully they are now eternal because of their work. I'm sure Stan is up wherever sitting with his wife and thinking about new stories while chatting to The Watcher..

Also RIP Steve Ditko, didn't know he had passed...Superb unique artist...

RIP Takahata-san, you are missed. He should have gotten the oscar for Kaguya-hime.
