Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024 saw the Art Directors Guild announce their official nominations for their upcoming awards ceremony, which excitingly included The Boy and the Heron. Also included in the nominations was The Super Mario Bros. Movie, with both films being nominated in the Animated Feature Film category for the awards.
The news comes shortly after The Boy and the Heron’s Golden Globes win for the Best Motion Picture 0 Animated category at the 81st event on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024. The film and its composer Joe Hisaishi also received a nomination for Best Original Score - Motion Picture, but unfortunately didn’t come away victorious.
In any case, the latest nomination for The Boy and the Heron adds yet another opportunity for what is allegedly the last of Hayao Miyazaki’s films to make a splash in the 2023 film awards. Some fans of the film itself and Miyazaki as a creator are even holding out for an Oscar nomination and win for the beloved movie.
