The Shangain scene: one of the best examples
of Roger Deakins' cinematography

While Javier Bardem and Judi Dench performances didn't make it, we're happy that many debts with the Bond films are now fulfilled. And the ceremony will contain a tribute show to homage the 50 years of James Bond onscreen. There are rumours that the six 007 actors will appear on stage for the first time.
