Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film
The Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film was awarded for the first time at the 64th Golden Globe Awards in 2007. [1] It was the first time that the Golden Globe Awards had created a separate category for animated films since its establishment. The nominations are announced in January and an awards ceremony is held later in the month. Only three films are nominated for best animated film, in contrast to five nominations for the majority of other awards. The Disney Pixar film Cars was the first recipient of the award. The award for best animated film has subsequently been presented to three other Pixar films: Ratatouille received the award in 2008, WALL-E was the recipient in 2009 and Up received the award in 2010. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been awarding Golden Globe Awards since 1944.
Two of the winners - Ratatouille and WALL-E - followed up their Golden Globes Awards wins by picking up the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Cars lost out in the 2007 Academy Awards to the Warner Bros. Pictures film Happy Feet. Ratatouille and WALL-E have also won the award for best animated film at the British Academy Film and Television Awards (BAFTAs) and all three have won numerous awards at other film ceremonies.

On November 17, 2009, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards, there will be five nominees for Best Animated Feature Film, as its members voted to amend its rules: eligible films must be feature-length (70 minutes or longer) with no more than 25% live action. If less than eight animated films qualify, the award will not be given, in which case the films would be eligible for Best Picture. If less than twelve animated films qualify, the category will be limited to three nominations per year.
