The Oscars may have just missed a trick to do something truly exciting.
The Academy Awards this year has been the usual pomp and ceremony as the elites of Hollywood hope to bag an illustrious award.
The event is rolling on without much fuss as we all watch on - maybe eagerly awaiting another Will Smith slap moment.
Sadly, there has been no such thing yet, and everyone seems to be on their best behavior - which is all quite underwhelming.
But then we approached what had been secretly referred to as a "special performance".
I'll be honest; I was looking forward to this, and when it became clear that it was in celebration of James Bond, the excitement grew.
Margaret Qualley starting the performance definitely drew us in, and performances from Doja Cat, Lisa, and Raye definitely made for an entertaining watch.
But let's be honest - we all thought they were going to announce the next James Bond, didn't we?
Check it out below:
It turns out that people have been left severely disappointed by the lack of a reveal and are saying the Oscars missed a great opportunity.
One person wrote: "I’m a huge James Bond fan but unless they are announcing the new Bond I don’t see the point…"
A second added: "[They] shoved an entire James Bond musical up our a** and didn’t even announce the next James Bond."
While a third said: "A bunch of performances and they didn’t even tell us who the next James Bond is… Conan O’Brien was right, they’re just wasting time."
Amazon has recently bought the rights to James Bond, so it almost seemed like the Oscars were doing an in memorial segment to the character.
Since 1962, the James Bond franchise has become one of the most enduring and beloved series in film history.
Over the decades, seven actors have taken on the role of the suave MI6 agent, each bringing their own unique style to 007.
Sean Connery kicked the character off and starred in seven movies, and is often regarded as one of the best to do it.
David Niven and George Lazenby has short stints as Bond, before Roger Moore really made the character his own.
