James Bond is a fictional character created by the novelist Ian Fleming in 1953. Bond is a British secret agent working for MI6 who also answers to his codename, ”007“. He has been portrayed on film by the actors Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, in twenty-seven productions. All the films but two were made by Eon Productions. Eon now holds the full adaptation rights to all of Fleming's Bond novels.
The films have won six competitive Academy Awards: to Norman Wanstall for Sound Effects (now Sound Editing) in Goldfinger (at the 37th Awards), to John Stears for Special Visual Effects in Thunderball (at the 38th Awards), to Per Hallberg and Karen Baker Landers for Sound Editing, to Adele and Paul Epworth for Original Song in Skyfall (at the 85th Awards), to Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes for Original Song in Spectre (at the 88th Awards), and to Billie Eillish and Finneas O'Connell for Original Song in No Time To Die (at the 94th Awards). Additionally, several of the songs produced for the films have been nominated for Academy Awards for Original Song, including Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die", Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" and Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only".
In 1982, Eon co-founder & film series co-creator Albert R. Broccoli received the Academy's honorary Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, at that time a bust of its namesake but awarded at the main Oscar ceremony that year. In 2024, his successors Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson won the same honorary award; it had been moved by then to the separate Governors Awards ceremony (though they were also honored with a segment at the following Oscar ceremony in 2025), but they were the first recipients of that award to receive Oscar statuettes instead of the traditional Thalberg bust.
In 2013, Skyfall won a BAFTA Award for Best British Film and became the first James Bond film to receive a BAFTA Award in this category.
For the music to The Spy Who Loved Me, Marvin Hamlisch received Academy, Golden Globe and Grammy nominations but lost all to John Williams for his work for Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.
