Oscars Will Spotlight James Bond The Academy to celebrate 007's 50th anniversary at next month's telecast.

The 85th Academy Awards will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise with a special tribute during the ceremony next month.

“We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday,” said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. “Starting with Dr. No back in 1962, the 007 movies have become the longest-running motion picture franchise in history and a beloved global phenomenon.”

The Oscar nominations will be announced next Thursday, January 10, at 5:30 a.m., PT. The winners will be revealed during the ceremony -- which of course will air live on ABC -- on Sunday, February 24.
