LOS ANGELES (NEXSTAR) — While not up for an Oscar, actor Morgan Freeman was at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday to pay tribute to two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman, who was found dead last week.

As Freeman took the stage Sunday, however, some noticed a simple black glove on his hand.

Freeman, an Oscar winner himself, has been seen wearing a glove on his left hand for several years.
