The legendary Welsh singer took to the stage to perform Diamonds Are Forever.
" The VOICE. The one and only, unsurpassable, never-bettered Dame Shirley Bassey." What a legend."
Viewers were stunned by Dame Shirley Bassey as she opened the show in style at the BAFTA 2022 Film Awards on Sunday, March 13.
"Diamonds Are Forever" isn't the only Bond theme Shirley Bassey was responsible for. They were far from the only person full of praise for the legendary singer, too. She was on hand to belt out one of her iconic Bond themes to help celebrate the James Bond franchise's 60th anniversary.
Every snub, shock and surprise from the glitzy awards night in London – the BAFTA awards 2022, held at the Royal Albert Hall.
Wilson has offered fantastic value at the BAFTAs in the past when she’s shown up to present individual awards, but she had trouble stepping up to the big job tonight. Paul Thomas Anderson wasn’t the only winner missing in action. Before the Best Actor prize was handed out, she quipped mock-casually: “It’s nice to see men getting some work.” Still, there’s no denying it’s deserved, or the stirring sincerity of her speech. Branagh also lost out on the Best Original Screenplay gong to Licorice Pizza‘s Paul Thomas Anderson, who wasn’t there, which allowed Alana Haim and Radiohead‘s Jonny Greenwood to collect the trophy on his behalf.

The key takeaways from a ceremony that saw The Power of the Dog triumph – but Coda and Belfast emerge the real winners.
Perhaps aware of the dissonance between a glitzy awards show and the horror of the invasion, however, few did. That’s the only way to explain Ariana DeBose winning over Jessie Buckley (a result even DeBose didn’t see coming), and Will Smith defeating Benedict Cumberbatch (the latter taking it gracefully). And the number of awards presented to no-shows told its own story; pitching for Oscar votes is a demanding business. Now the Golden Globes are out of the picture, the road would appear clear for the Baftas as the unarguable silver-medal position in the awards race (with the Oscars still defeating all comers). But Bafta’s relationship with the US Academy is still tricky: it’s both saucer-eyed at its counterpart’s wattage and wants to assert its own homegrown traditions. Rebel Wilson showed her Daniel Craig tattoo, Troy Kotsur was asked about the possibility of a deaf Bond and Shirley Bassey opened the show by singing Diamonds Are Forever. It’s 60 years since the first Bond film, and Bassey is now 85 – but her commitment to glamour and drama remain unshaken, and indeed unstirred, by the passing of time. The Power of the Dog will win the Oscars for best picture and director – that’s written in stone. Might Coda and Licorice Pizza go home with the screenplay awards (there was a lot of love for the latter at Bafta)? CS
