SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Wins The Golden Globe For Best Animated Motion Picture
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Motion Picture and with that, the superhero feature should now be the frontrunner to bring home Oscar gold next month.
The 76th Golden Globe Awards got off to a rocking start tonight as Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse won the award for Best Motion Picture - Animated, making it the first Marvel movie ever to win a Golden Globe and also firmly places the critically-acclaimed blockbuster in the driver's seat for the Academy Awards next month as it takes a shot at making history.
The animated superhero feature, which was co-directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, tells the origin story of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and will take him on a dimension-shattering adventure as he partners with a number of Spiders from different universes, including Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), and Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), to take down the villainous Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) and his cronies.
To date, Spider-Verse, which carried an estimated $90 million production budget (without P&A), has earned over $275.3 million worldwide ($133.8M domestic; $141.5M foreign) and continues to hold strong nearly a month after its initial theatrical debut. With a sequel and a spionff all but confirmed, we should expect to see a whole lot more of Miles, Gwen, and Peter B. Parker in the not-so-distant future.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that’s the first of its kind. Spider-Man™: Into the Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.
