Golden Globes for best feature to Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

In the midst of the award season, we begin to reckon with the awarded and non-awarded films. Last weekend it was the turn of the Golden Globes which saw the film Pinocchio triumph in the animation section.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio was awarded as Best Animated Feature at the Golden Globes, a US award for the best films and television programs in the season by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The feature triumphs over the nominees: the anime Inu-Oh (Science Saru), Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (DreamWorks Animation) and Turning Red (Pixar), and also the first time that the producer Netflix receives this award in this category.

The new version of Carlo Collodi's classic tale was also nominated for Best Soundtrack composed by Alexandre Desplat and Best Original Song "Ciao Papa" by Roeben Katz and Guillermo del Toro .

In the backstage Del Toro has commented "We’re on middle of transition and change and a crisis at the same time. We just survived the transformation of delivery, the arrival of a pandemic and everybody thinks we should define where we’re going in a year or two. It will define itself in the incoming decade. And the most important thing is to keep the size of the idea big. We need a little bit of history to talk about the future [of the big screen] with a little certainty".
