The 2024 Golden Globe Nominees have been announced and two iconic anime films have joined the list of nominations for Best Motion Picture: Animated Category. The first film was Makoto Shinkai’s Suzume and Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and The Heron. Both films join other animated films such as Disney’s Elemental and Wish, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros Movie.
The Boy and The Heron also nabbed another nomination and that was for Best Original Score- Motion Picture, joining other notable films such as Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
One of the bigger snubs of the Golden Globes awards was Nimona not being picked for the Animated Category. Some say due to its pro-LGBT messaging, while others criticize Wish being included due to it being panned by critics and ignored by audiences, not to mention it was considered one of Walt Disney’s biggest box office flops. But it wouldn’t be the first time the Golden Globes faced controversy.
Aside from the snubs, it wasn’t the first time that Hayao Miyazaki’s work received a Golden Globes nomination. Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises was nominated for the “Best Foreign Language Film” award at the 71st Golden Globes. You can watch Suzume now on Crunchyroll, and catch The 81st Golden Globe Awards ceremony on CBS on January 7, 2024.
