Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, longtime producers of the James Bond franchise, were honored with Oscars at the recent Governors Awards. The 2025 Academy Awards showcased performances by Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye, each paying tribute to iconic James Bond songs. Lisa performed 'Live and Let Die,' Doja Cat sang 'Diamonds Are Forever,' and Raye closed the medley with 'Skyfall.' In addition, the awards saw Jacques Audiard's 'Emilia Pérez' leading with 13 nominations, followed closely by other notable films, highlighting the depth of this year’s cinematic offerings.
After The Substance actress Margaret Qualley led a James Bond-themed dance routine, Lisa sang Paul McCartney & Wings' classic 'Live and Let Die' from the 1973 spy film.
Cameras panned to another section of the stage for a tradeoff to Doja Cat, who glittered in an appropriately diamond-encrusted gown while covering 'Diamonds Are Forever'.
Raye sang the final performance of the tribute medley, tackling Adele's moody song 'Skyfall' from the 2012 movie starring Daniel Craig.
Leading the nominees at the 2025 Academy Awards are Jacques Audiard's cartel musical Emilia Pérez, with 13 nominations, followed by Brady Corbet's epic drama The Brutalist and others.
