"The Boy and The Heron" made history as the first anime film to win this Golden Globe award

Eighteen years after the Golden Globe introduced the Best Animated Film category, The Boy and The Heron became the first anime to win the award.

Here's What We Know

The six animated films nominated were "Elemental," "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," "The Super Mario Bros. Movie", "Suzume" and "Wish", but the winner was Hayao Miyazaki's "The Boy and The Heron", making Golden Globe history as the first anime film to win the award in this category.

Despite the absence of Miyazaki and the Studio Ghibli team at the award ceremony, this triumph becomes an exceptional moment for the world of anime, emphasising the great strength of this genre in the film industry.

Now we wonder if The Boy and The Heron will win an Oscar?

The film's success at the Golden Globe certainly increases Hayao Miyazaki's chances of winning his second Oscar after Spirited Away. However, it's worth noting that the two awards are not related. Nevertheless, given that this year's Oscar nominations have yet to be announced, it's very likely that "The Boy and The Heron" will be among the select films to claim that coveted status.
