Thunderball
James Bond is a sexy, sneaky spy — and that’s not typical Oscar bait. No biopics, no war epics, no overcoming of obstacles (well, only because nothing’s too much of an obstacle for 007). But that doesn’t mean the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences isn’t among Bond’s fans. The following Oscars have gone to Bond movies:
Sound Effects, 1964: Goldfinger
Visual Effects, 1965: Thunderball
And he’s been nominated plenty of times:
Sound, 1971: Diamonds Are Forever
Song, 1977: “Nobody Does It Better” from The Spy Who Loved Me
Musical Score, 1977: The Spy Who Loved Me
Art Direction/Set Decoration, 1977: The Spy Who Loved Me
Visual Effects, 1979: Moonraker
Song, 1981: “For Your Eyes Only” from For Your Eyes Only
