Halle Berry introduces dramatic James Bond tribute at this year’s Oscars featuring Margaret Qualley

BBG News

As a gaming aficionado, even though the Oscars was all glitz and glamour for Tinseltown, it was the heart-pounding tribute to the iconic British figure, James Bond, that had me on the edge of my seat.

The segment kicked off with Halle Berry extolling the virtues of producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, referring to them as the “lifeblood” of the Bond series, followed by a collection of iconic James Bond scenes.

Afterward, Margaret Qualley made her entrance on stage for a captivating dance routine, followed by three separate performances. These included Lisa from Blackpink performing ‘Live and Let Die’, Doja Cat delivering ‘Diamonds Are Forever’, and RAYE taking on ‘Skyfall’.

It’s understandable if you assumed the Bond tribute was in response to the surprising news about Amazon MGM Studios gaining control over the creative aspects of the long-lasting series, considering the timing.

Indeed, I’m thrilled to say that the recognition bestowed upon the legendary duo, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, with the Irving G Thalberg Memorial Award at the 15th Governors Awards in November 2024, has my heart racing! Their dedication and impact on the film industry are truly unparalleled.

The Academy honors creative producers with a prestigious award for their consistent delivery of exceptional quality in film production.

It was previously given to their late father Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli in 1981.

On that special evening, I was humbly bestowed an honor, and it was none other than Daniel Craig who graciously handed it to us. Additionally, I’ve been keeping tabs on the buzz surrounding him and the news about Amazon stepping into the world of Bond.

I couldn’t believe my luck when Daniel Craig presented us with an honor that night! And let me tell you, I’ve been following the chatter about Amazon taking over the Bond series, with Daniel Craig being a big part of it all.

He shared that his regard, esteem, and affection for Barbara and Michael have never wavered or lessened, he added.

I hope that Michael enjoys a lengthy, tranquil (and richly deserved) retirement. As for Barbara’s future endeavors, I’m confident they will be nothing short of amazing, and I genuinely hope to be involved in them somehow.

In response to the recent acquisition, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy indicated that they currently don’t have a definite plan for their future focus or theme.

He added: “Nobody’s written the story yet. But we will take great care.”
