Doja Cat addressed criticism of her performance at the 2025 Oscars.

Last night's ceremony included a 6.5-minute tribute to James Bond movies. Why did this happen in a year with no new Bond? Well, supposedly to honor producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, though it remained somewhat baffling (the Broccoli family recently gave creative control of the franchise to Amazon).

Said tribute included a version of "Live and Let Die" by LISA, a rendition of "Skyfall" by Raye, and "Diamonds Are Forever" was performed by Doja.

And yes, that is Margaret Qualley dancing at the start.

Some were less taken with Doja's vocals on the Shirley Bassey song, though I don't see the point in showing you a bunch of negative comments from that hellscape website when you can probably picture the colorful words people used to express their dislike.

Subsequently, Doja shared her outfits of the night on Instagram along with the caption, "danced with sarah paulson last night also Flow is my favorite movie of all time cuz it’s a story about friendship. Thanks to the Academy Awards and Vanity Fair for having me."

Addressing the backlash head-on, she continued, "I never get to sing like that and what I did was brave and scary as fuck for me. I know a lot of people didn’t like it but a lot of people did and I feel good that I pushed myself."

"The song is a classic and I put a lot of work into it but the nerves got to me and a bitch hit some flats. I can’t wait to do something like that again. What a blessing that was. I feel amazing about the whole thing," she concluded.
