007 comes in from cold AFTER 50 years of thwarting world-threatening plots and dispatching their evil masterminds, James Bond finally has emerged victorious from his longest running battle: to be taken seriously by other filmmakers. On a night when the top prize went to Argo, Ben Affleck's dramatisation of the outlandish scheme to smuggle US diplomats out of Iran, Skyfall brought the spy film franchise in from the cold by winning outstanding British film at the BAFTA Awards.
