    I'm hoping the Academy has the same mentality and gives Adele her well-deserved Award.

    It'll put her halfway to receiving an EGOT.

    Unfortunately not. The Globes don't usually do live performances.

    I love Dan's support and relationship with Adele. Congratulations to her for an award well deserved. It isn't easy to win out over Les Mis.

    Was that an alternate version of the song being played when she went up to accept the award?

    I don't know.. I didn't realize Les Mis had an original song. Scared me for a second. On to the Oscars!

    Well, that's something that has always happened. Many times, new songs have been added to movie adaptations of stage musicals, or replaced original songs, most of the time to fetch an Oscar nomination. I can remember at least three examples right away:

    Guys and Dolls: "I've never been in love before" replaced by the (inferior) "A Woman in Love" (and "Marry the Man Today" being scandalously deleted)

    Hello Dolly: The first song of the musical being replaced in the movie by another song, which certainly played to Streisand's strengths.

    A Chorus Line: "The Music and the Mirror" being replaced by the inferior "Let me Dance for You", and "Surprise" being added to the score.

    Anyway, congrats to Adele. She certainly deserved that Globe, and she deserves that Oscar, if she gets it.

    Hans Zimmer´s merciless droning is one man reason I probably won´t get the film on DVD. How´s that for recognition :ar! ?

    I´m not saying it hasn´t got exquisite parts, but overall, the total lack of sublety is not in my favor.

    It's one of Zimmer's worst scores IMO. He can be stunning....just look to Gladiator and The Last Samurai, but the Batman films have two recognisable chords and a load of banging. His work for the Crysis 2 video game was far superior!

    And was I alone in thinking "Sybil Fawlty" when I heard Adele laughing? Glad she got some recognition for Scaffold..... ;-)

    What a WIN can do for the positive spirit in this topic =D> ;-). I'm really thrilled about this win.

    By the way, the 'high five' between Craig and Adele reminds me of the glorious 1960's for Bond. The spirit on set, behind the scenes and on the red carpet have never been so delightfully positive.

    We know Barbara and Michael always want to create this family atmosphere on set. But it's extremely fullfilling to see it in the tv screen.

    Lets thank Adele's boyfriend for pushing her to do the song as he's a massive Bond fan too, loved her speech as well. Also Daniel Day lewis shout out to skyfall during his speech shows the greatest actor in the world has some love for Bond and maybe the next Bond film could have Day lewis as the Bond villian. wishful thinking maybe

    Halle Berry just looks hotter and hotter.

    Taylor Swift looked like a sore loser and a massive congrats to Adele. One of the things I love about her is, she keeps it English, more soecifically, she takes London where ever she goes. I hope she gets that Oscar and also, I'm glad she thanked Craig for being such an awesome Bond. EoN, Sony and MGM won't even think about trying to half arse Bond 24.

    What a great day to be a Bond fan!
    Congratulation to Adele, Paul Epworth and whoever choose her song (I don't know if it was Babs, Michael or both).

    I have to say Craig and Weisz are without a doubt the classiest, coolest, sexiest couple in the movie industry. They just look stunning in those photographs.
