ADELE STANDS TALL AT GOLDEN GLOBES - SKYFALL wins for Best Original Song!

Adele and her 
Golden Globe

She made it. British singer Adele won the Golden Globe award for "Skyfall", the song she performed and wrote (with Paul Epworth) for the 23rd James Bond film of the same name, beating up the songs for "For You" (from ACT OF VALOR), "Not Running Anymore" (from STAND UP GUYS and written by Jon Bon Jovi), "Safe and Sound" (from THE HUNGER GAMES) and "Suddenly" from LES MISERABLES.

This is the first Golden Globe won by the Bond franchise after Madonna's main title song for DIE ANOTHER DAY lost in the 2002 awards. It is also the first win for a very moved Adele, who sent her thanks to Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig "for being such a wonderful Bond" and to her coming son.

SKYFALL GOES FOR OSCARS - Five Academy Awards Nominations

IT'S A FACT - ADELE WILL PERFORM 'SKYFALL'

It was probably the worst kept secret in 50 years of Bond. Even the single cover artwork and some portion of the lyrics were leaked! But finally, Adele has posted the music sheet for the SKYFALL song she has written and performed. After CASINO ROYALE's "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell and the strongly disliked QUANTUM OF SOLACE's "Another Way to Die" sung by Jack White and Alicia Keys, the main title song for the 22nd 007 film will be called after the film's title.

Wanna listen? here's a 90 second sample to thrill you up until the full song is released at 0:07 am on Friday October 5th, aka the Global James Bond Day. Listen (Soundcloud)
