Adele’s “Skyfall” Wins Best Original Song at the 2013 Oscars
Adele was honored with the 2013 Oscar for Best Original Song for her theme song to the latest James Bond flick 'Skyfall' of the same name.
The Best Original Song category for the 2013 Oscars included such titles as “Before My Time” from ‘Chasing Ice,' “Pi’s Lullaby' from ‘Life of Pi,' “Suddenly” from ‘Les Miserables’ and “Everybody Needs a Best Fried” from ‘Ted.’ But if you really think about it, did any of them stand a chance of beating Adele?
Though "Skyfall" was the first song from a Bond film to be nominated in the Best Original Song category at the Oscars since 1981′s “For Your Eyes Only,” the song became an instant hit. Aside from winning in the same category at the 2013 Golden Globes, Adele performed the theme during Sunday's Oscars ceremony, hosted by Seth MacFarlane, making it the first time the Grammy winner performed the song live.
