Red Carpet Oscars 2024

Quincy Jones’ family recently received a posthumous Oscar award on his behalf at the Governors Awards event in Los Angeles. Other celebrities at the Oscars who got prestigious accolades include Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis, and casting director Juliet Taylor.

Although mourning his loss, Quincy’s daughter Rashida Jones read the speech he had prepared a month ago, noting that her father shaped the musical landscape across multiple genres in the past seven decades. Other stars like Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Hudson also paid tribute to Quincy through words and music rendition on stage.

Quincy’s family were reportedly skeptical about their presence on Sunday night; however, they showed up and were duly recognized. Foxx presented the award to his family, calling the late legend a musical genius and an inspiring friend. 

He added some comic relief to the somber moment with a hilarious imitation of Quincy, which had his family laughing in their seats. Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Zoe Saldaña, and Selena Gomez held back tears while Hudson performed her musical tribute to Quincy in a cream-colored dress.

The main event was more intimate compared to the usual Oscars, as there was no band or over-the-top performances— just speeches, tributes, and applause for the deserving honorees. There were candid jabs flying across the room too, between the likes of Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis, who have collaborated on a few movies.
