Damn, I knew it!

All those things he said before that he didn't do Bond theme

were just a scheme.

Hope it sounds good, come one Sam! Woop woop!

I kinda knew it wouldn't be Gaga but a tiny bit of me was hoping...

Oh well I'm glad Sam is doing it! Come on Sammy boy!

But will this even get nominated?

Skyfall was so high profile because Adele had written it, performed it and was back when she amassed all that huge hype. The movie was also breaking box office records and saving MGM from bankruptcy. Tbh I don't see all that happening for this song, also because the script leaked back when the Sony hack and everybody hated it. Bond songs are rarely that huge. I think it's going to be big of course but not as big as Skyfall.

What happened to Ellie though? Did she get the boot? :toofunny:

Knowing the tradition, excluding Madonna, where all the theme singers were all power vocalists, Ellie wouldn't have a chance in the first place.

I think Sam Smith is capable of generating a lot of publicity and taking into account his vocal abilities, he stands a high chance of getting nominated, plus the nature of the movie just gives too much advantage to the song to be nominated, unlike The Hunting Ground which has to fight through its way to get noticed. Sam Smith wrote it and is expected to perform it once it comes out, and the movie hasn't even come out yet so there's no reason to believe that the movie won't be as huge as Skyfall.

Yeah and I'm not saying he isn't, I'm just saying that Skyfall had a lot of things going for it that led to the Oscar win, mainly Adele's immense popularity at the time. And again, I'm not saying that Spectre won't be as huge as Skyfall, it probably will since Skyfall grossed over a billion on the WW box office, but people were skeptical of the casting choices and the script was not well received.

The Best Original Song Oscar is hard to predict. Songs that are predicted to win for sure, don't and songs that shouldn't have won, win, it depends on the year.

To be honest, I would be much more concerned over See You Again than Writing's on the Wall.

EDIT: and the song was noticed, all the major Hollywood publications were reporting on it. Just because the normal GP isn't aware of it does not mean that the voters aren't. I mean, Lady Gaga is attached to it, not some random unknown. And songs from lesser known indie/independent movies have won against the likes of Disney and musicals
