Sam Smith wins Oscar for SPECTRE theme song

| 29 February 2016 | Follow: @007dossier

Last night SPECTRE became only the second James Bond film to pick up an Oscar for best original song.

Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes won the Academy Award gong for Writing’s on the Wall three years after Adele won the award for Skyfall. The song is also the first ever Bond theme to make the number 1 spot in the UK pop charts.

David Leigh founded The James Bond Dossier in 2002. A fan of 007 since the age of 8, he is also author of The Complete Guide to the Drinks of James Bond. You can order a copy here if you don't own it already.
