    Good idea But i have a feeling they won't. I hope they win Best song in a movie like they did for the golden globes. I kinda of wished they did get norminated for BEst Picture. I wouldn't car if they won or lost because their are alot of good movies out their, but if they just go recognized for it i would be happy too

    They seem to really be advertising the hell out of the tribute above anything else, so they will probably tease us and save it for far into the latter half if I could guess.

    My money is that it will be the segue into Adelle singing. Maybe a video with a montage of all the Bonds and a mix of music with Skyfall being at the end, then they cut to her on stage, maybe they continue the clips. I don't know, I have a feeling that's what it's going to be though.

    Well.. it will be Adele, Bassey, and Jones in there somewhere.

    While obviously I hope that Skyfall cleans up in all 5 categories, I really dont care what a bunch of brown nosing Hollywood snobs think of the film. We all can categorically state that the film was a massive success both critically and commercially and that's all that counts. Bond will outlive Hollywood itself!

    So I wonder if Skyfall will get an award? I doubt it.

    Why do you mention this actually. I mean, 'Goldfinger' and 'Skyfall' got no 'Best Picture' Oscar or more than one Oscar. But these movies proved invincible after all :-). 'Skyfall' is no different.

    But after tonight I beliebe this threesome of Bond films will be the only ones which won an Oscar: 'G.T.S' --> 'Goldfinger', 'Thunderball', 'Skyfall'. :)>-

    PS: Four links are available for the ABC Oscar's. Link 2 seems really good HD quality in 16:9. If the above link doesn't work, then try one of the four other 'links'.

    Here are some nice articles from the LA Times about the categories in which 'Skyfall' is nominated.

    Sound categories: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/goldstandard/la-et-mn-oscar-predictions-sound-categories-20130219,0,1098044.story

    Music categories: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/goldstandard/la-et-mn-oscar-predictions-song-score-20130221,0,452147.story

    Cinematography category: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/goldstandard/la-et-mn-oscar-predictions-cinematography-costumes-visual-effects20130220,0,4919179.story

    It seems 'Skyfall' will win one Oscar for 'Best Original Song', and if we're lucky a second one from one of the other categories ;-). I can't hardly wait!

    Yep @doubleoego
    That is truly dreadful writing. Absolutely appalling journalism. How I write and structure my paragraphs and sentences is quite frankly shite, but even I could better that. The chap seems to have robbed a living.

    Just watching a bit of Goldfinger on Sky 007 during the ad breaks on the Oscar coverage. Cant beat a bit of classic Bond with another classic Skyfall multiple nominated. Still can't believe we've got a Bond flick to cheer at the Oscars!

    No they're not. The Oscar producers already denied the rumors and to top it off:

    It's nominated for 5 awards: Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Score, and Original Song.

    Also important to know is the traditional announcement order of winners. Bond fans will be thrilled to know that the first winner to be announced is 'Best Cinematography', but I think it'll be 'Skyfall's first loss of the evening. But don't let it influence your emotions, as 'Skyfall' WILL win an Oscar ;-). The complete running order and in bold the categories for which 'Skyfall' has a chance:

    01) Best Cinematography (my prediction: Claudio Miranda for 'Life Of Pi')
    02) Best Art Direction (my prediction: 'Les Misérables')
    03) Best Costume Design (my prediction: 'Anna Karenina')
    04) Best Make Up (my prediction: 'The Hobbit')
    05) Best Foreign Language Film (my prediction: 'Amour', France)
    06) Best Actress In A Supporting Role (my prediction: Anne Hathaway for 'Les Misérables')
    07) Best Film Editing (my prediction: William Goldenberg for 'Argo', NOT 'Zero Dark Thirty')
    08) Best Sound: Editing (my prediction: 'Life Of Pi', Eugene Gearty and Philip Stockton)
    09) Best Sound: Mixing (my prediction: 'Skyfall', Scott Millan, Greg P. Russell and Stuart Wilson)
    10) Best Documentary Feature (my prediction: 'Searching For Sugar Man')
    11) Best Animated Film (my prediction: 'Brave', BUT there could be a surprise winner here)
    12) Best Visual Effects (my prediction: 'Life Of Pi')
    13) Best Actor In A Supporting Role (my prediction: Tommy Lee Jones for 'Lincoln')
    14) Best Original Music Score (my prediction: Mychael Danna for 'Life Of Pi')
    15) Best Original Song (my prediction: Adele & Paul Epworth for 'Skyfall')
    16) Best Adapted Screenplay (my prediction: Chris Terrio for 'Argo')
    17) Best Original Screenplay (my prediction: Quentin Tarantino for 'Django Unchained')
    18) Best Live Action Short
    19) Best Documentary Short
    20) Best Animated Short
    21) Best Director (Steven Spielberg for 'Lincoln')
    22) Best Actor In A Leading Role (Daniel Day Lewis for 'Lincoln')
    23) Best Actress In A Leading Role (my prediction: Jennifer Lawrence for 'Silver Linings Playbook')
    24) Best Picture (my prediction: 'Argo')

    So I do not expect tonight one overwhelming victorious movie. But eventually, 'Life Of Pi' will win the most Oscars. Four technical Oscars, and, if the movie is lucky perhaps even five. Then 'Lincoln' and 'Argo' each win three Oscars, but 'Argo' off course takes 'Best Picture'. I predict that both 'Les Misérables' and 'Skyfall' will win two Oscars. But it'll be tough!.

    The beautiful movie about euthanesia, 'Amour', will win one Oscar, together with 'The Hobbit', 'Silver Linings Playbook', 'Anna Karenina', 'Django Unchained' and 'Brave'. The documentary 'Searching For Sugar Man' will win 'Best Documentary'.

    I predict a loss for Roger. But it's also because I'm a bit afraid! I mean, I wanna stay positive tonight and this is the first Oscar to be handed out. I'm really nervous. IF Roger Deakins wins.....I'm gonna scream!

    I just heard Halle Berry saying that the Bond tribute will be truly awesome! Nice to hear that she wanted her gown to be Bond-esque! She's really proud to be part of the franchise now :-).

    If there wasn't going to be a Bond tribute I'd be nervous and excited about the nominations but as I only care about the tribute, I'm indifferent to the nominations but here's to the best of luck to the SF noms.

    Precisely. We get to see Skyfall's name displayed on the biggest stage in Hollywood a few times, and hopefully get a fantastic tribute to our humble little series.
