The 50th Bond film to come out – Skyfall, has been receiving praise left and right since it came out last year, and it looks like it might even nab a few Oscar nods this year.
While the Bond franchise isn’t really known for Oscar success – over the years the films have received their fair share of nominations and even scored some wins, but mostly in minor technical categories – Skyfall, starring Daniel Craig as Bond, has the strongest chance of any Bond film to date to receive an actual Best Picture award. In any case, even without a nomination, 007 will be honoured at the ceremony, in more ways than one. The producers of the show have let slip that they are planning a special tribute during the show in honor of the franchise’s 50th anniversary – a look back at all of Bond’s incarnations throughout the years. “We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday,” producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a joint statement. “Starting with Dr. No back in 1962, the 007 movies have become the longest-running motion picture franchise in history and a beloved global phenomenon.”
Meron and Zadan haven’t revealed much else about the tribute however, and it still remains to be seen whether Skyfall will receive the predicted Best Picture nod – something that’s looking increasingly likely after its Producer’s Guild nomination earlier this week.
