Sam Smith garnered a Grammy nod for his Spectre theme song "Writing's on the Wall," and the hit songmaker could barely contain his excitement.
"I am sitting in a coffee shop with my mum and just found out I have an Oscar nomination," he said in a statement given to Entertainment Weekly. "Feeling very overwhelmed and just can't believe it. Better pick out a gown. Thank you to the Academy for this incredible honor and recognition."
In the category of "Music (Original Song)," Smith will square off against Lady Gaga (The Hunting Ground's "Til It Happens To You"), J. Ralph (Racing Extinction's "Manta Ray), David Lang (Youth's "Simple Song #3"), and The Weeknd (Fifty Shades of Grey's "Earned It").
Adele's previous James Bond theme "Skyfall" won the award back in 2012.
