Nearly 10 years in the making, THE BOXTROLLS was a labor of wholehearted love crafted a frame at a time.

“THE BOXTROLLS” (Focus Features) – Nominee, Best Animated Feature Film- Golden Globes
“I’d like to express my delight and appreciation to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for its nomination of THE BOXTROLLS for this year’s Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Animated Film. There are so many great animated films this year! The medium is branching out and growing in wonderful ways, and we’re happy to be part of it. It is both gratifying and humbling to be included in such a talented group of nominees.

This nomination recognizes the efforts of a crew of over 300 women and men at LAIKA who worked for years on the picture, each expressing their unique talent and love for the medium of animation through their sacrifice and tireless work. Guided by our masterly directors, they have painstakingly hand-crafted the most complex stop-motion feature film ever, and it was an honor to work alongside them on this adventure. So many outside the studio also contributed immeasurably to THE BOXTROLLS. Our electrifying cast, superb composer, and the rest of THE BOXTROLLS family created a world of image and sound out of what often seemed like thin air.” – David Bleiman Ichioka, Golden Globe Award nominee as producer of THE BOXTROLLS, Best Animated Feature Film Nominee

Reese Witherspoon, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama
“I’m extremely thankful that the film is being recognized in this way. WILD is truly my baby and was a labor of love from the beginning. Cheryl Strayed was so brave in putting her life’s journey into words and it makes me happy that this type of recognition will hopefully drive more people to experience it on film‎.” ‎

Antonio Sanchez, Best Original Score – Birdman – Motion Picture
“I’m really honored to be Golden Globe nominated. I’m thankful to Alejandro Gonzales Iñarritu for the opportunity to work on this masterful film, and everyone that was involved in the process of helping it come to fruition. Being a jazz musician in our modern culture involves being cloaked in relative darkness when it comes to popular media attention, so I really hope this nomination helps propel our music and industry to a higher plane.”

I am nothing but grateful to have had the opportunity to dive into a role like this. All thanks really go to David Fincher for his guidance and for allowing me to play Gillian Flynn’s incredible, confounding character. I’m very honored to be nominated alongside actresses I have long admired. Thank you so much to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this nomination!”
