"The White Tiger" also lost out in the category of Best Adapted Screenplay. The film's writer-director Ramin Bahrani was in contention in the category. The winners were Florian Zeller and Christopher Hampton for "The Father".
The tribute, in the form of a video clip, was a homage paid to over 40 artistes the world of screen lost during the past year, including actors, writers, directors, and technicians.
