1965 Goldfinger Won Best Effects, Sound Effects Norman Wanstall
1966 Thunderball Won Best Effects, Special Visual Effects John Stears
1972 Diamonds Are Forever Nominated Best Sound Gordon K. McCallum, John W. Mitchell, Al Overton
1974 Live And Let Die Nominated Best Music, Song Paul and Linda McCartney
1978 The Spy Who Loved Me Nominated Best Art Direction, Set Decoration Ken Adam, Peter Lamont, Hugh Scaife
Nominated Best Music, Original Score Marvin Hamlisch
Nominated Best Music, Song Marvin Hamlisch, Carole Bayer Sager
1980 Moonraker Nominated Best Effects, Visual Effects Derek Meddings, Paul Wilson, John Evans
1982 For Your Eyes Only Nominated Best Music, Song Bill Conti, Mick Leeson

Producer Albert R. Broccoli was awarded the prestigious Irving Thalberg Memorial Award for career achievement at the 54th Academy Awards in 1982. Then current James Bond actor Roger Moore presented the producer with the award at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The trophy for award recipients is in the form of a bust of Thalberg, however it is still counted as an 'honorary Oscar'.
