Moana almost receive Golden Globes award Featured
Maui and Moana
9 January, 2017. Moana, set in the South Pacific, has missed out on a Golden Globe award for best animated film to the other Disney production in its category, Zootopia.
Moana, featuring New Zealand actors Rachel House, Jemaine Clement and Temuera Morrison, was also nominated for the best original song in a motion picture, for 'How Far I'll Go' but La La Land's 'City of Stars' got the nod.
New Zealand director Taika Waititi wrote the initial script for Moana.
The Golden Globes, which are seen as a good precursor for what to expect at the Academy Awards, are being handed out in Los Angeles this afternoon.
A number of the major category winners have already been announced.
BBC mini-series The Night Manager has fared well in the TV categories, with British stars Olivia Colman, Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie all picking up acting awards.
Musical La La Land has already picked up two awards: best actor, won by Ryan Gosling, and best screenplay.
The best supporting actor award went to Aaron Taylor-Johnson for his performance in Nocturnal Animals.
Best supporting actress in a motion picture went to Viola Davis for her role in Fences.
