Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’ Named Best Animated Feature at 2016 Golden Globes

Award is the seventh win for Pixar Animation Studios from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the 10 years since the category was created.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association held its 73rd annual Golden Globes Awards ceremony Sunday night, handing out statuettes to films and television shows in a variety of categories.

Twentieth Century Fox’s frontier-era revenge thriller The Revenant was the night’s big winner, taking home awards for best drama, best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, and best direction for Alejandro G. Iñárritu. (The Revenant is also shortlisted for an Oscar for visual effects.)

The Martian (also shortlisted for the VFX Oscar) won two awards, including the prize for best comedy or musical and best actor in a comedy or musical for Matt Damon, proving once again that studio gerrymandering does not a good awards show make. “Comedy? But anyway,” director Ridley Scott said in accepting the trophy. “You’ve got to stay hungry and keep bouncing the ball.”

Among animated features, Pixar’s Inside Out was the big winner, beating out Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson’s stop-motion Anomalisa, Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, Blue Sky’s The Peanuts Movie and Aardman’s Shaun the Sheep Movie. The award was the seventh win for Pixar from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the 10 years since the category was created.

“It felt like growing up is really hard, and that was an interesting subject to make a movie about,” Inside Out director Pete Docter said in his acceptance speech.
