Hollywood stars gather for honorary Oscars event celebrating Quincy Jones, Bond producers, more
Many of Hollywood’s biggest stars have gathered at the annual Governors Awards in Los Angeles to honor the late Quincy Jones, James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The family of Quincy Jones was not sure they wanted to attend the Governors Awards.
Their father died two weeks before he could accept his second honorary Oscar, alongside Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis and casting director Juliet Taylor.
But the Jones family decided to show up for the event Sunday night in Hollywood for a celebration of his life and work with humor from Jamie Foxx, a rousing performance by Jennifer Hudson and a moment with his family: His daughter Rashida Jones even read the speech he had been working on up until a month ago.
“We felt like we wanted to celebrate his beautiful life and career,” she said. “His music has literally defined an entire century of culture spanning genres.”
