Hopes are high across Ireland that Kilkenny-based animation studio, Cartoon Saloon s latest feature, Wolfwalkers will win a Golden Globe at the ceremony which takes place later today in Hollywood.
The film which is set in medieval Kilkenny is nominated for Best Motion Picture - Animation.
Speaking about the nomination, co-directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart said “We would like to thank the HFPA for nominating Wolfwalkers for a Golden Globe award - we are delighted that this Irish story is so well received by audience, fans and critics from all over the world and the teams behind Wolfwalkers from Ireland, Luxembourg and France are honoured to be nominated alongside the best animated features of the last year. While we would love to be in Hollywood to celebrate the Golden Globe award ceremony, we will likely be in a socially distant safe celebration here in Kilkenny - as Bill Goodfellowe would say
