MUMBAI: British singer and Grammy award winner Adele has beaten the likes of Taylor Swift and Bon Jovi to emerge as the most successful artiste of 2012. After having won numerous awards for her tracks, the singer added yet another trophy on her mantle at the 70th Golden Globes.
The songstress picked up the Best Original Song trophy for her track ‘Skyfall’ for her James Bond theme song from the franchise’s 23rd film ‘Skyfall’.
Collecting her first Golden Globe, the singer who made her first appearance after giving birth to a baby boy in October said, “The award was for my boyfriend Simon who convinced me to do it, and my wonderful son. I wasn’t expecting this. It’s very strange to be here. Thank you for letting me be a part of your lives.”
Picking up the award for Best Original Score was Mychael Danna for the India-set drama film ‘Life of Pi’ directed by Ang Lee. Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez presented the trophy to Danna who said, “Thank you to Fox for being crazy enough to make this movie.”
The awards ceremony featured former President Bill Clinton getting a standing ovation after introducing the film ‘Lincoln’ and Jodie Foster receiving the Cecil B DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.
Hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the 70th Golden Globes 2013 were held on 13 January at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
