No one has seen much of Adele since she gave birth to her new baby boy just twelve weeks ago. So it was no surprise that when she stepped onto the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday, cameras couldn’t keep their lenses off of her. Looking stunning in a black Burberry dress, Adele smiled and posed graciously for the cameras before going inside. There, she was even more gracious when she scooped up the prize for “Best Original Song.”
That song of course, was “Skyfall,” from the new James Bond movie, a song that was written by Adele and Paul Epworth. It also trumped Taylor Swift’s “Safe and Sound” from The Hunger Games; Bon Jovi’s “Not Running Anymore” from The Stand Up Guys; and Keith Urban’s “For You” from Act of Valor.
During her acceptance speech, Adele touched on everything from the movie, to being a new mom.
“Oh my god! Honestly, I’ve come out with my friend Ayda, we’re new mums. We’ve literally come out for a night out!” Adele shouted when she first got onstage. “I was not expecting this. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your world for a night. I’ve been p**sing myself laughing.”
Getting a little more serious to say some thanks she continued, “I’d like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press — I never thought I’d say that! Sony Pictures, MGM, Sam Mendes, Paul Epworth, who I wrote the song with, Daniel Craig for being such a wonderful Bond. This is for my boyfriend who convinced me to do it and for my lovely son.”
But what convincing was needed? Adele had spilled about that on the red carpet before the ceremony began.
“I was very pregnant and very emotional, but it was amazing,” she said. “I got the script a long time ago and it took me quite a while for them to convince me. It’s a big responsibility.”
Next month, Adele will have the chance to be awarded for taking on that responsibility once again, as the song’s been nominated for a Grammy as well.
