Rashida Jones Tearfully Honors Quincy Jones, Hugh Grant Roasts Richard Curtis and More From the 2024 Governors Awards


Governors Awards honored Quincy Jones, Richard Curtis, Juliet Taylor and James Bond producers.

The 15th annual Governors Awards, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, celebrated industry legends on Sunday night, most notably music and producing icon Quincy Jones, who died earlier this month at the age of 91. Instead, following opening remarks from Academy President Janet Yang, the evening began with actor Colman Domingo taking the stage to energize the crowd. Hugh Grant brought the biggest chuckles of the night with his infamous dry wit and humor as he roasted the Jean Hersholt Award recipient, Richard Curtis, whom he worked with on films such as “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Love Actually.”
