"I knew that creating music for film was something that I longed to do. So when the opportunity to do my first American film score for this great city of immense pawnbroker came up, it was a dream come true. From those beginnings to the present, I was always keenly aware of the enormous power that we possessed as filmmakers... if we were lucky, had a chance to move people in ways that they could never imagine... to make society and the world a more understanding and embracing place for us all to exist."
"The Oscar for people who never made that movie good enough to win an Oscar," joked honoree Richard Curtis, setting a lighthearted tone for the evening's celebrations and emphasizing the unique honor represented by the Governors Awards.
Surrounded by three of her six siblings, Rashida Jones brought the house to tears at night's end, honoring her late father Quincy Jones with a heartfelt reading of his prepared acceptance speech.
Other honorees included 'James Bond' producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, presented by bearded former Bond Daniel Craig, illustrating the event's celebration of influential figures in the film industry.
