    Congrats! I haven’t seen it yet but it’s still showing here so I might see it when I have the time.

    Also, I don’t remember seeing a Japanese animated film (or let alone an Asian animated film) win a Golden Globe before. I’m not sure if there were restrictions on eligibility or region before but it’s nice to see two Japanese animated films get nominated for an award like this.

      Looking at the list of winners in the category, this is definitely the first anime film to have won. Very few have even been nominated in the past. As far as I could tell from a glance, there are only four:

      • 2023 - The Boy and the Heron (won)
      • 2023 - Suzume
      • 2022 - Inu-Oh
      • 2018 - Mirai
