SKYFALL has not only won over world wide audiences – it now has been awarded the prestigious BAFTA award, in the category OUTSTANDING BRITISH FILM.
Thomas Newman also got the BAFTA for BEST ORIGINAL SCORE.
Also, Roger Deakins was honored as Best Cinematographer for SKYFALL by the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).

So, Adele keeps on being a award magnet – her SKYFALL title song scored the Golden Globe last night. Well, it would have been an upset if it hadn´t, judging from the lackluster competition.
Now on, to the Oscars! And by the way, if the rumors are right Daniel Craig wants her and Mendes to come back for Bond 24. That, however, is less of a surprise than Jodie Foster´s remark about Daniel Craig´s behind during her acceptance speech.
Here´s the list of the winners: http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/golden-globes-2013-winners-list/
John Logan is a very busy man as he will not only write Bond 24 and 25 but has also now landed a “high-concept drama” he concocted with Sam Mendes at Showtime, home of the massively successful series “Homeland”. It will be interesting to see whether and how this workload will impact on Mendes´ schedule – should he return for Bond 24. Also: Could Logan have time now to focus on his new tv show because… he has already written his first draft of Bond 24?

The Critics Choice Awards have been given out to Daniel Craig for BEST ACTOR IN AN ACTION MOVIE, and SKYFALL for BEST ACTION FILM. That´s especially nice after the Oscars shut out SKYFALL from the main categories. The latest 007 adventure triumphed at the CCA over fellow worthy nominees THE AVENGERS, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and LOOPER. Pretty nice, even if Javier Bardem, Judi Dench and Roger Deakins lost in their categories.
Well, no Best Picture nomination for SKYFALL, and no acting nomination either.
But the recent 007 adventure scored in these categories:
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY (Roger Deakins), BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (Thomas Newman) BEST ORIGINAL SONG (Adele), BEST ORIGINAL SOUND MIXING and BEST ORIGINAL SOUND EDITING.
Stil, the Oscars will honor James Bond with a special tribute!
The BAFTAs love 007 this year: SKYFALL is nominated in eight categories, including Best Supporting Actor/Actress (Javier Bardem/Judi Dench), Best Cinematography (Roger Deakins) and Best Original Score (Thomas Newman).
In a year that has lots of strong contenders, managing to get in there with the big guns of “Lincoln”, “Django Unchained”, “Zero Dark Thirty”, “Life of Pi” and “Les Misérables” is quite a feat for a 23rd installment of a spy franchise.

James Bond will be part of this year´s Oscars – whether SKYFALL will be nominated or not. The producers of the upcoming Academy Awards are planning a special segment that will celebrate this series´ enduring success.
Great news that will also remind voters on their last day to… well, honor this very special secret agent.

During the last weeks of 2012 we could witness award nominations for Judi Dench and Javier Bardem. But now the game has changed completely: the prestigious Producers Guild has nominated SKYFALL as one of their top 10 film productions of 2012.
This really makes SKYFALL a serious contender for a Best Picture nomination at the upcoming Academy Awards.

In the annual award circus the London Critics´ Circle showed lots of love for SKYFALL by nominating it as Best British Picture and giving acting nominations to Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and Javier Bardem.
Has there ever been a 007 picture that has gotten so much award attention?
