Ten Paramount employees rode the float on Monday, which included replicas of the Star Trek's USS Enterprise, the WWI biplane from the first best picture Oscar winner Wings, the studio's iconic Bronson St. gate, the 1948 Ford Deluxe "Greased Lightening" from Grease, and the bench from Forrest Gump.

Transformers character Bumblebee was also part of the presentation, and was decorated in petals of brilliant yellow strawflower, gray poppy seeds and black chive seeds.
