A Tribute Fit For 007
Halle Berry, a former Bond girl from ‘Die Another Day,’ set the stage for the tribute before a mesmerizing dance by Margaret Qualley, draped in a striking red dress, unfolded to the iconic Bond theme.
Then came the real spectacle: Blackpink’s Lisa electrified the crowd with a powerful rendition of ‘Live and Let Die,’ originally by Wings and Paul McCartney. The energy remained high as Doja Cat took over, delivering a sultry performance of ‘Diamonds Are Forever,’ the title song from the 1971 Bond film of the same name.
Closing out the tribute, Raye captivated the audience with her soulful version of Adele’s Skyfall.
This Oscars tribute was the latest in a long history of Bond’s presence at the Academy Awards. Since the release of ‘Dr. No’ in 1962, the franchise has earned multiple nominations for Best Original Song.
While classics like ‘Live and Let Die’ and ‘Nobody Does It Better’ fell short of victory, the tide turned in 2013 when Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ finally secured the win. Sam Smith followed in 2016 with Writing’s on the Wall, and Billie Eilish continued the streak in 2022 with ‘No Time to Die.’
The End of An Era For James Bond Producers
Wilson and Broccoli’s impact on the Bond films was undeniable. Honored with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award at the 2024 Governors Awards, they reflected on their departure with gratitude and a forward-looking perspective.
“My life has been dedicated to maintaining and building upon the extraordinary legacy that was handed to Michael and me,” Broccoli commented. “I feel it is time to focus on my other projects.”
The James Bond tribute was amazing, one of my favorite moments in Oscars history. Obviously, they did it because they know the franchise is gonna be destroyed by Amazon.#Oscars#Oscars2025#JamesBondpic.twitter.com/wAjVqr13FP
