The 2026 Academy Awards are a celebration of a big year in Hollywood, but amidst all of that, there was considerable tragedy as well. It's fitting that Billy Crystal kicked off the "In Memoriam" segment and paid tribute to the late Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle in a touching tribute that included many stars.
Reiner and his wife died in late December, and while their son Nick spends time in prison awaiting trial for their murder, Crystal took the stage along with many actors who starred in his films to talk about the director's impact. Check out a photo from the moment below, with all the stars onstage together:
