The list of sci-fi/fantasy/horror Golden Globe winners is longer than usual this year. Normally genre movies and television tend to do a tad better during the Oscars, People’s Choice Awards and Emmys than from the list of nominees usually unveiled by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. However, this year saw three genre-related entries win the top prize in their categories Sunday night.
Best Director of a Motion Picture: Alfonso Cuaron – “Gravity” starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock.
Best Screenplay for a Motion Picture: Spike Jonze – “Her” starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Best Animated Feature Film: “Frozen” from Disney Studios and starring voice work by Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and Idina Menzel. Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee.
It should be noted that among the list of nominees were Orphan Black, American Horror Story: Coven, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Blacklist.
