“Top Gun: Maverick” won the live-action feature film award at the Cinema Audio Society’s Cas Awards, which took place in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.
It won in a category whose nominees were identical to the lineup in the Oscars’ Best Sound category: “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Batman,” “Elvis” and “Top Gun: Maverick.” During the time when the Oscars gave out separate sound awards for mixing and editing, the Cas winner went on to take the Oscar for sound mixing a little less than half the time – but in the first two years after the Academy combined its two categories into one, the guild and Oscar winners have matched both times.
Other feature-film winners included “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” for animation and “Moonage Daydream” for documentary.
Television winners included “Better Call Saul,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” and “Only Murders in the Building.

As the Oscars wrestle with grabbing a larger millennial audience, the dissing of tentpoles in the Best Picture category continues this year. In addition to AMPAS voters overlooking the sixth highest grossing movie ever at the global box office, Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.77 billion) for Best Picture, they also snubbed Daniel Craig’s swan song as James Bond in MGM/Uar/Eon’s No Time to Die in that slot as well.
To date, no 007 movie has been nominated for Best Picture, this despite a push this year for No Time to Die and the franchise’s highest grossing movie of all-time, which also starred Craig, 2012’s Skyfall ($1.1 billion).
No Time to Die was held for a theatrical release during the pandemic, repping one of the event titles to put global cinemas back in business after being shuttered for over a year. No Time to Die grossed...

Billie Eilish made Grammy history again on Sunday by winning the visual-media song award for her James Bond movie theme “No Time to Die.”
It marked the first time in Grammy history that a song for a film not yet released has won. Traditionally the Grammy soundtrack committee disqualifies a song when voters cannot yet see the movie it was written for, but the 2020 pandemic dictated a modification to the usual rule.
Eilish, who won with her brother and co-writer Finneas O’Connell, released the song on Feb. 13, 2020, in anticipation of an April 2020 release of the film. Postponements to November, then to April 2021, and now to October 2021 were unforeseeable. And its chart success clearly impacted the decision.
Ironically, the Grammys’ movie song category is usually behind the times, not ahead of them, as the win often goes to whatever song won the previous year’s Oscar. But this year that winner,...

Billie Eilish’s “No Time to Die,” the theme song for the much-delayed James Bond 007 movie of the same name, received a Grammy Award nomination on Tuesday, despite the fact the film has yet to hit theaters. The pic, the 25th installment of the Bond franchise, has seen its global release date delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The film, which returns Daniel Craig to the lead role, originally was set for an Easter Weekend 2020 release but was then moved to a November 20, 2020 releae in the U.S. and November 12 in the UK as MGM was among the first studios to foresee how the pandemic was going to stall the exhibition. It has since moved again and has staked 2021’s Easter weekend, April 2, to try a global release again.

It’s been a while since we first heard Billie Eilish‘s song “No Time to Die” from the James Bond action film of the same name. It was released in February, back when we expected the film to open a couple of months later in April. But the Covid-19 pandemic forced the film’s delay. Now it’s scheduled to open in November, and October 1 brought us Eilish’s official music video for the song. Watch it above.

Billie Eilish‘s busy 2020 continues. Following her historic five Grammy wins on January 26 and her performance at the Oscars on February 9, she premiered her theme song from the upcoming James Bond film “No Time to Die” on February 13. Listen to it above, and vote in our poll below to let us know if it sounds like a potential Oscar winner to you.
At age 18, Eilish is the youngest artist ever to write and perform a Bond theme. But she was a logical choice since the iconic spy is known to be a tough guy, like-it-really-rough guy — though in this case he’s the good guy, duh.

The next James Bond song is here with Billie Eilish offering a haunting vision of “No Time to Die.”
Writing and/or performing the next James Bond song is always a herculean task for any artist. On the one hand, some of the finest tunes songs ever composed for film are associated with this franchise—Shirley Bassey’s rendition of “Goldfinger,” Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Live and Let Die,” Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better”—and on the other, there’s a laundry list of failures, some to an iconic degree—Madonna’s “Die Another Day” says hi. So recent musical sensation Billie Eilish and brother Finneas O’Connell were always setting themselves up to climb a mountain on No Time to Die.
And now we can at least hear the winds up there, even if we haven’t seen the vista in its final form. Indeed,...

Billie Eilish has released the title track and theme song to the next James Bond movie, “No Time to Die,” a steamy but delicate and whisper quiet ballad to accompany Daniel Craig’s final turn as 007.
The Grammy-winning artist for 2020’s Album of the Year is the youngest musician to ever write and record the theme song for a James Bond movie, and she wrote the track with her brother Finneas and incorporated the traditional 007 theme, as well as special guests Hans Zimmer and guitarist Johnny Marr on the song.
“Though you’ll never see me cry, there’s just no time to die,” Eilish sings on the title track.

Elton John is going to face some stiff competition in this year’s Oscars race: Elton John.
He’ll have two tunes in competition for the Academy Award for best original song this year. The just announced track listing for the “Lion King” soundtrack reveals he and lyricist Tim Rice did write a new end-titles number for the upcoming remake, titled “Never Too Late,” which he also performs with the help of an African choir.
