Golden Globes: Best animated film

Meanwhile, in the best animated film category, Inside Out 2, Memoir of a Snail, Moana 2, Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and The Wild Robot have all been nominated.

The Golden Globe awards are run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is made up of foreign journalists who report on film news from America back in their home countries.
