The 2021 edition of the Producer’s Guild of America Awards has declared its winner list. The PGA Awards awarded Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” with their top prize and many such winners were honored. In honoring big personalities one of the names was of the late Indian star Irrfan Khan.
The awards, considered as an Oscar bellwether, were held virtually on Wednesday. Actor Irrfan Khan was also praised during its “In Memoriam” segment but got his name wrong. Khan was among the 21 cine personalities who were remembered during the ceremony’s “In Memoriam” segment. As Variety reported, a gaffe was perpetrated while the pre-taped production of the awards with the actor’s name as it misspelled ‘Irrif Kahn’ instead of Irrfan Khan. He mounted both Indian and international cinema equally but left the world early because of a two-year-long battle with a rare form of cancer. In the Hollywood world, he featured in blockbusters such as Inferno, A Mighty Heart, Life of Pi, Amazing Spider-Man, and Jurassic World.
PGA Awards “In Memoriam” segment also paid tributes to Kirk Douglas, who died at the age of 103 in February 2020, and Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August at 43 after a private four-year-long battle with cancer.
