‘My nanay is among other Hollywood artists and filmmakers who are remembered by The Academy this year,’ Jose’s daughter Andi Eigenmann writes
MANILA, Philippines – Late veteran Filipino actress Jaclyn Jose’s legacy was honored further with her inclusion in the 97th Academy Awards’ “in memoriam” section.
The 2025 Oscars was held on March 3 (Manila time), and part of its program — besides handing out the Oscar statutettes to awardees — was to remember late figures in the film industry, from actors to producers and executives.
During the show, Morgan Freeman delivered a speech on two-time Oscar awardee Gene Hackman, whose recent death had come as a shock to the entertainment industry. Other figures included in the tribute were Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, writer-director David Lynch, American actress and film producer Shelley Duvall, and American actor James Earl Jones.
Jose was included in the “in memoriam” section of the Oscars’ website.
Jose’s daughter, Andi Eigenmann, shared her elation over her mother’s inclusion in the list.
“My nanay (mother) is among other Hollywood artists and filmmakers who are remembered by The Academy this year,” Eigenmann wrote.
Named alongside the late Filipina actress were Olivia Hussey — who rose to fame through her portrayal of Juliet in the 1968 screen adaptation of Romeo and Juliet — and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ice Princess, and Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg.
Jose’s craft was not only known to Filipinos, but to the world, too, as she was named Best Actress during the 2016 edition of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France for the film Ma’Rosa.
The Patay na si Hesus star died on March 2, 2024, due to a myocardial infarction or heart attack. She was known for films and shows such as Circa, May Nagmamahal Sa’yo, Puso ng Pasko, Sarong Banggi, D’Originals, and Marimar, to name a few. Among her last projects before her death were Bolero, Apag, and Batang Quiapo.
At the 2025 Oscars, the big winner was the Sean Baker-directed film Anora, taking home five awards: Best Actress in a Leading Role (Mikey Madison), Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Directing, and Best Picture. – Rappler.com
