Skyfall could be the first James Bond movie to be in with a chance of winning the coveted Best Picture award at the Oscars, it is reported.
Deadline claims that an Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences screening of the movie - which is currently ruling the box office charts on both sides of the Atlantic - saw massive crowds this week.
And the movie site's Pete Hammond reckons there was serious talk among members of the 23rd Bond film being the "best ever" - and of nominations for Best Picture and also possibly for certain members of the supporting cast.
Hammond wrote: "It is the first I can recall getting truly serious Oscar talk, not only for Best Picture but even in acting categories for supporting players Javier Bardem as the villainous Silva and Judi Dench with a particularly meaty turn as M this time around."
And he quoted the movie's sound mixer Greg P Russell as saying: "Generally as Academy members we are dealing with art films or indie films but the big popular movie that has critical acclaim too makes a lot of sense for Best Picture. I would love to see a more popular film get in and I think Skyfall fits into that as well."
The James Bond franchise has only won two Oscars in the previous 50 years: Best Sound Effects for Goldfinger and Best Visual Effects for Thunderball.
