The nominees for the 74th Golden Globes have been announced, and for the Best Motion Picture - Animated movies; no anime, not even the famed Kimi no Na wa was selected. The movies chosen are all generic western releases; many of which like Sing have very little substance and support - especially compared to Makoto Shinkai's masterpiece.
This is not for those fans of Shinkai to fret - the Golden Globes would have been nice, but the Oscars were the real prize they were looking for. Three anime have been submitted this year to win those - these include Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive, Miss Hokusai and Kimi no Na wa. With most people in support of the latter; the movie has surpassed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to become to 4th highest grossing movie in Japan. More will be revealed in time....
