OSCARS 2020 presenter Spike Lee honored the late Kobe Bryant on the red carpet on Sunday with a one-of-a-kind tuxedo.  The 62-year-old filmmaker wore a purple-and-gold suit — Los Angeles Lakers colors —  to the ceremony with Kobe’s jersey number —24 —embroidered on the back and on its lapels.  He finished off the look with a bowtie, maroon-rimmed glasses, a purple-and-black cap, orange Nikes and beaded bracelets.  The tribute comes two weeks after Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others died in a helicopter crash.  A big basketball fan, Spike directed a 2009 documentary starring the champion player, titled Kobe Doin' Work.  While taking cover from the Los Angeles rain and walking the Oscars carpet with his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, Spike stopped to chat with E! Red Carpet host Ryan Seacrest about his outfit.  Ryan immediately noticed Spike’s tribute tuxedo, telling him: “I see a very powerful statement in this suit you’re wearing tonight, my friend. How you doing?”  Emotional at the thought of his friend, a somber Spike was unable to respond to the question, simply looking around and shrugging.  The American Idol host told him he understood it was difficult and that he’d move on to something more uplifting, like the event tonight and Spike’s plans for the next few months.  The BlacKkKlansman director said: “I’m happy to be here. I’m gonna present and enjoy myself.”  “I just gotta continue doing my work [next].  “...When you’re making money doing what you love, that’s a blessing.”  Spike is one of about 30 stars set to present at the 2020 Academy Awards, which will air on ABC at 8 p.m.  Do you have a story for The US Sun team?  Email us at exclusive@the-sun.com or call 212 416 4552.
