A Tribute to the Producers Behind James Bond

"Broccoli and Wilson, daughter and stepson of legendary producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli—who first brought Bond to the big screen with 'Dr. No' in 1962 and remained at the helm until his passing in 1996—have served as the franchise’s primary producers and guardians since 1995’s 'GoldenEye.' They maintained creative control up until last week, when the cinematic rights transitioned to Amazon MGM Studios as part of a groundbreaking joint venture."

"Halle Berry took the Oscars stage to introduce the tribute. Actress Margaret Qualley followed, captivating the audience in an elegant, floor-length red gown as she danced alongside a lineup of Bond stunt doubles, each impeccably dressed in classic tuxedos."

The musical baton then passed gracefully to Doja Cat, who stunned the audience in a glittering diamond-embellished gown while performing the iconic theme 'Diamonds are Forever.'
