Best Animated Feature (a.k.a. Best Motion Picture \u2014 Animated) has now been a Golden Globes category for 20 years. Five years after it debuted at the Oscars, the then Hollywood Foreign Press Association felt it was finally time to give animation its\u00a0own spotlight at the Globes.<\/p>\n

2006 was a major year for animated films, with blockbuster and studio breakthrough titles such as Blue Sky\u2019s \u201cIce Age: The Meltdown\u201d, Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s first feature \u201cOpen Season\u201d, and DreamWorks\u2019 \u201cOver the Hedge\u201d, which co-starred Steve Carell as the voice of rambunctious squirrel Hammy. Carell was the presenter of the first Best Animated Feature Golden Globe, and as he stated during the January 2007 telecast, \u201c\u2026It is a very big deal.\u201d The nominees were Pixar\u2019s \u201cCars\u201d, Warner Bros.\u2019 \u201cHappy Feet\u201d and Sony\u2019s \u201cMonster House\u201d. \u201cCars\u201d was named the winner. The same three films were also on the Oscar ballot, where \u201cHappy Feet\u201d claimed victory.<\/p>\n

It was one of only four times to date, out of 19 occasions, when the Globe and Oscar winners didn\u2019t match. The other three cases: Steven Spielberg accepted the Globe for \u201cThe Adventures of Tintin\u201d in Jan. 2012. The Oscar went to \u201cRango\u201d\u2026 \u201cTintin\u201d wasn\u2019t even nominated. \u201cHow to Train Your Dragon 2\u201d was the Globe recipient a few years later, while \u201cBig Hero 6\u201d took home the Academy Award. And after three previous nominations \u2014 for \u201cCoraline\u201d, \u201cThe Boxtrolls\u201d and \u201cKubo and the Two Strings\u201d \u2014 the Globe for 2019\u2019s animated features went to Laika for stop-motion \u201cMissing Link\u201d. Pixar\u2019s \u201cToy Story 4\u201d won the Oscar.<\/p>\n

The first three \u201cToy Story\u201d installments made history at the Golden Globes. In addition to 2010\u2019s \u201cToy Story 3\u201d becoming the first\u00a0sequel or threequel to win Best Animated Feature, 1995\u2019s \u201cToy Story\u201d, the first CG animated feature ever made, was nominated for the Best Picture: Comedy or Musical Golden Globe. And four years later, \u201cToy Story 2\u201d became the third animated film to win in that prestigious category, after \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d and \u201cThe Lion King\u201d.<\/p>\n

Before animation received its own category, these films competed against live-action movies in Best Picture: Comedy or Musical. The first animated nominee was 1989\u2019s \u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d. Two years later, \u201cBeauty\u201d won and went on to receive a historic Best Picture Oscar nomination. The other animated Globe Best Picture nominees were Disney\u2019s \u201cAladdin\u201d, Aardman\u2019s \u201cChicken Run\u201d, Pixar\u2019s \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d and \u201cThe Incredibles\u201d, and DreamWorks\u2019 \u201cShrek\u201d, which became the first Best Animated Feature Oscar winner in 2002.<\/p>\n

On Sunday January 11th, we\u2019ll find out which of these six films will become the 20th Golden Globes Best Animated Feature recipient. There\u2019s \u201cArco\u201d from NEON, Sony\/Crunchyroll\u2019s \u201cDemon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba \u2014 The Movie: Infinity Castle\u201d, Pixar\u2019s \u201cElio\u201d, Sony and Netflix collab \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d, \u201cLittle Amelie or The Character of Rain\u201d from GKIDS, and Disney\u2019s \u201cZootopia 2\u201d. The Globe and Oscar winner have matched nine\u00a0of the past 10 years, including the most recent five in a row \u2014 \u201cSoul\u201d, \u201cEncanto\u201d, \u201cGuillermo del Toro\u2019s Pinocchio\u201d, \u201cThe Boy and the Heron\u201d and \u201cFlow\u201d.<\/p>\n

An \u201cElio\u201d victory would be the 10th for Pixar (a studio whose Chief Creative Officer, Pete Docter, is the director with the most wins, with\u00a0three). Walt Disney Animation Studios has previously won three times (including for \u201cFrozen\u201d and the first \u201cZootopia\u201d). NEON, Crunchyroll and GKIDS would claim their first win with their respective titles.\u00a0And if it\u2019s \u201cKPop\u201d, Sony Pictures Animation would have a second trophy, following 2018\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse\u201d. (This would also be the second Netflix win, after \u201cPinocchio\u201d.) We\u2019ll see what happens as another exciting awards season heats up!
