Which Golden Globe category did Adele's 'Skyfall' win?

The story behind the answer

Which Golden Globe category did Adele’s “Skyfall” win? It won Best Original Song. Adele shared the songwriting credit with Paul Epworth for the title theme of the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall.

The song won at the 70th Golden Globe Awards in January 2013, competing in the motion-picture song category. Its award-season success continued with wins at the Academy Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards and Brit Awards, making “Skyfall” one of the most decorated Bond themes.

A common confusion is between Best Original Song and Best Original Score. The score category concerns an entire film’s instrumental music, while “Skyfall” was entered as a song written specifically for the movie. The track was released on Global James Bond Day, marking the franchise’s 50th anniversary, and Adele’s recording became a major worldwide hit.
