Legendary director Hayao Miyazaki, who is 82 years old, won his first Golden Globe for the animated feature competition with his semi-autobiographical fantasy picture The Boy and the Heron.
The Golden Globe Award for Miyazaki’s Japan-set film is the first for multiple reasons: it’s the first for Studio Ghibli, the animation studio he co-founded; it’s the first for GKIDS, the U.S. distributor; and it’s the first for an animated feature not produced in English.
Spirited Away, which he directed in 2001, won a competitive best animated feature Oscar. In 2014, Miyazaki was awarded an Academy Honorary Award. The Boy and the Heron is slated to be his last picture. The Wind Rises, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, received a Golden Globe nomination for best foreign film in 2013.
Howl’s Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, and Ponyo are among Miyazaki’s other credits.
The animated feature Golden Globe nominations for The Boy and the Heron were Elemental, Wish, Suzume, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and Super Mario Bros Movie.
