In 2018, Kobe Bryant became the first professional athlete to win an Oscar for his animated short film 'Dear Basketball,' co-created with Glen Keane. He acknowledged his family's support during his heartfelt acceptance speech. In 2022, Venus Williams, inspired by her production of 'King Richard,' embraced the glitzy Oscars atmosphere alongside her sister, sporting a striking Elie Saab gown. Additionally, figure skater Mirai Nagasu drew inspiration from Lupita Nyong'o's iconic gown when selecting her Oscar ensemble post-2018 Olympics, showcasing her bronze medal as a nod to her athletic achievements.
In his acceptance speech, Bryant thanked his wife and daughters, telling them, "Ti amo con tutto il mio cuore," or "I love you with all my heart" in Italian.
Williams and her sister, Serena Williams, served as executive producers of the film "King Richard," based on their father, which was nominated for six awards that year.
Shortly after the 2018 Olympic Games concluded, Team USA figure skater Mirai Nagasu attended the Oscars in a cornflower-blue embroidered gown by Tadashi Shoji.
I just wanted to keep raising the bar and making the most of every moment," Williams told Vogue then.
