Sam Smith, Jimmy Napes -Smith's regular composer- and his 'Writing's On The Wall' achieved yesterday February 28 at the 2016 Oscars delivery the second award for best original song for a James Bond film, after Adele and her 'Skyfall' took the statuette last year 2013. All very British, right?
It was on January 10 that Sam Smith, after winning the Golden Globe, saw the door more open than ever for 'Writing's On The Wall', the central theme of the latest James Bond film, 'Specter', to become with the Oscar for the best original song.

Oscars 2016: Sam Smith dedicates his award to the LGBT community around the world
Smith's competition for this accolade included the huge jewel (my favorite) 'Manta Ray', by transgender singer Anohni and J. Ralph for the documentary 'Racing Extinction', and the song 'Til It Happens To You' which Lady Gaga did for the documentary 'The Hunting Ground', which although it was not my favorite, it must be recognized that the subject is left over from a blood and intention that were captured live last night during the performance at the gala. They were also up for The Weeknd's 'Earned It' and David Lang's 'Simple Song # 3'.
Smith did not want to miss the opportunity to dedicate the award to the LGBT community: “I read a few months ago an article that said that no openly homosexual man had ever won an Oscar. And if that's the case, or if it's not, I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community around the world. I'm here tonight as a proud gay man. And I hope that we can all be here one day as equals ».
It was her live performance the only thing that did not shine as it should, especially when the non-winner Lady Gaga put the audience on its feet. with a performance of those that make the hair stand up to the hardest. Smith already confessed months ago that 'Writing's On The Wall' "is a horrible song to sing" for the amount of high notes it has and last night it was found that such a statement was true. He did well, yes, but it was far from being as brilliant as a moment like yesterday needed. We will blame the nerves.
I've never been so fucking nervous in my entire life. PHWOAAAAAAAR
