 Singer-songwriter Adele will perform the Oscar-nominated theme song from the  James Bond movie «Skyfall» at the 85th Academy Awards, the show’s producers announced today.

“Skyfall,” from the film of the same name, was announced as a nominee for Original Song at the Academy’s Nominations Announcement on January 10. The song, written by Adele and Paul Epworth, is the first Bond theme ever to debut in Billboard’s Top 10 and the first to be nominated for an Oscar since “For Your Eyes Only” in 1981.

This  will be the first time she will have performed “Skyfall” anywhere live, and will also mark her first U.S. television performance since the Grammys last year.

“It’s an honor to be nominated, and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again,” said Adele. “It’s something I’ve never experienced and probably only ever will once!” – said the singer.

Oscars for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy) live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries worldwide.
