The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science shared a video montage of some of the iconic movies including Life Of Pi, Her, The Shawshank Redemption, Captain Marvel, The Martian, Parasite, Interstellar, Black Panther and more. What's special about the edit is that it has clips of moments that celebrate hope and inspires the audiences. It has Al Pacino's courtroom scene from The Scent Of Woman, Tim Robbins from Shawshank Redemption, Chadwick Boseman from Black Panther, Joaquin Phoenix from Her among many others. The video ends with late screen icon Irrfan Khan from the 2012 film Life Of Pi where he says "well that's up to you" when asked if his story has a happy ending.

They've praised his performance in the iconic film, directed by Ang Lee, as well as his career in the film industry.
