    Good day to be Sam Mendes

    And to add insult to injury, he gets to go home with Rebecca Hall. My hero.

    Just saw Skyfall for the first time damn just damn. Great action, great humor great Bond. If you heard someone in the theater crying that was me.

    SPOILERS

    M dying affected me greatly what a character and wow Judi has never been as beautful as in SF. I've followed her career for ages she gets more and more stately and gorgeous by the year. Great noble death.

    Skyfall 10/10

    Good! He deserves awards for his work on SF. I don't care if he is difficult to work with (apparently from what I have read at times); his work was truly outstanding. I want him back on a Bond film, Mendes or no (but I'm happy for Mendes to be there, too).

    Well deserved. I had no idea the awards season was not over yet!

    Very good to hear, and well deserved, indeed. Whether you're a Bond nut or not, you can't deny that Deakins' work in SF was truly phenomenal.

    Indeed! I am really looking forward to seeing Skyfall in Blu-Ray. Although it will be a bit of a wait for me; I am sure it will be more gorgeous than ever.

    Why is it a bit of a wait? Is it still not out on disc format in some countries?

    No - I just don't have Blu-Ray yet! I hope to by Xmas.

    One final award: Skyfall has won "Best Action/Adventure Film" at the Saturn awards.

    Some great videos I'd like to mention. I just can't get enough of all the recognition 'Skyfall' got this year. It's magnificent to witness this, taking into account it's only the 4th time a Bond film wins an Oscar :-).

    36th edition of the Academy Awards, 1965:
    Norman Wanstall wins the Oscar for 'Best Sounds Effects' for 'Goldfinger'. It's the first ever Oscar win for a James Bond film. Remember, in 1965 there were two sound categories: 'Best Sound' and 'Best Sound Effects'. 'Best Sound' then was the equivalent of 'Best Sound Mixing' today. 'Best Sound Effects' then was the equivalent of 'Best Sound Editing' today. This Oscar was presented by Bob Hope and Angie Dickinson


    37th edition of the Academy Awards, 1966:
    One year later there was another prize for James Bond. The late John Stears won the Academy Award for 'Best Special Visual Effects' for the fourth Bond film 'Thunderball'. Ivan Tors accepted the award on behalf of John Stears. This segment was presented by Bob Hope and Dorothy Malone


    54th edition of the Academy Awards, 1982:
    Finally Bond producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli gets the recognition he deserves. After 20 years of working as producer on the James Bond film, he receives the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award from Bond actor Roger Moore. Also present during that Oscar gala was previous Bond producer Harry Saltzman. Other recipients of the 'Thalberg' were producers Clint Eastwood (1996), George Lucas (1993), Steven Spielberg (1988), Ingmar Berman (1972) and Alfred Hitchcock (1969)


    70th edition of the Golden Globes, 2013:
    The second ever Golden Globe win for a James Bond movie, after Ursula Andress won a Globe for 'Best Promising Newcomer' in 1964 for 'Doctor No'. This time it was Adele who won for 'Best Original Song'....as expected. Presenters of this award were Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham


    85th edition of the Academy Awards, 2013:
    After 47 years, the Bond franchise wins again a 'Best Sound Editing' Oscar. Per Hallberg and Karen Baker follow Norman Wanstall's footsteps in editing the most captivating, original sounds for a feature film; a Bond film no less. As you know, it was a tie in this category. Presenters of this award was Mark Wahlberg. This video has been filmed backstage by the Oscar producers


    85th edition of the Academy Awards, 2013:
    And a second Oscar during the night, when Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth win the Oscar for 'Best Music: Original Song' for 'Skyfall'. The Oscar was presented by Richard Gere


    61st edition of the Academy Awards, 1989:
    Who cannot forget this wunderful triplet of actors. Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Michael Caine have some fun chitchat before they announce the 'Best Supporting Actor' Oscar to Kevin Kline:


    66th British Academy Film Awards:
    The cast -producers, writers and director- winning the BAFTA for 'Best British Film'. First time ever this happened for a James Bond film. A pure hommage and not a 'real' victory? I tend to disagree. 'Skyfall' deserved this prize....James Bond desrved this prize.


    66th British Academy Film Awards:
    First time ever an original written, composed and conducted music score in a Bond film wins a big cinema award. An outstanding achievement if you ask me. And the firs BAFTA ever for a Bond score.

    I thought the awards season was over but Thomas Newman/Skyfall has just been nominated for the World Soundtrack Academy awards under all 3 categories: Film Composer of the Year, Best Original Film Score of the Year and Best Original Song Written Directly for a Film.
    http://www.worldsoundtrackacademy.com/news2.cgi?go=detail&id=2013&lang=en
    The names of the winners will be presented October 19th at the Gent Film Fest.

    Paul & Linda McCartney at the 1973 Academy Awards (presented April 2, 1974 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles) when Paul and Wings were nominated for "Live & Let Die".
