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.
