Pinocchio's Made Netflix The First Streaming Service With A Golden Globe

Guillermo del Toro is one of the most hailed filmmakers of our time for so many reasons. The visions he can bring to life, teamed with the way his productions turn out time and time again, have seen plenty keep up with his work throughout the years. The best bit? He has received a lot of recognition for his recent project.

‘Pinocchio’s made Netflix the first streaming service with a Golden Globe - and the incredible achievements don’t end there. From more nominations to proof that del Toro really does know a thing or two about making classics and everything in between, ‘Pinocchio’ won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

Pinocchio isn’t the only thing to set records at the Golden Globes

Getting nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the Golden Globes is one thing, but walking away with a win is something entirely different. Plenty weren’t surprised when they heard that ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ was the one with the win for the night, but that didn’t take away from the immense pride so many took from the award. Amazingly, this made Netflix the first streaming service with a Golden Globe - and things didn’t end there. Del Toro also became the first Latino winner of the award, with co-directors being the only ones to get their hands on the Golden Globe in years gone by. It wasn’t long before the filmmaker told the world that “animation is cinema” and that “Animation is not a genre for kids.” Instead, del Toro believes “it’s a medium.”

Netflix has received Oscar nods, but no wins so far

The Golden Globes are one of many awards that shed light on the biggest productions from the last 12 months, with plenty of directors, stars, and crew all hoping that their productions will walk away with a win for the night. Still, ‘Pinocchio’ getting nominated for a Golden Globe is far from the first time a Netflix production has found itself rubbing shoulders with the best. Animated movies have actually been up for no fewer than four awards at the Oscars throughout the years, with animated sci-fi ‘The Mitchells vs. The Machines,’ the musical fantasy ‘Over the Moon,’ the animated holiday movie ‘Klaus,’ and the animated film ‘I Lost My Body’ all seeing their names in lights throughout the years. Sadly, none have walked away with an Oscar yet.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio could be the thing to win an Oscar

Just because an animated Netflix movie hasn’t won an Oscar yet doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. With so much love and appreciation for Guillermo del Toro and his ‘Pinocchio’ already shown at so many awards, it seems it could be the filmmaker’s time to shine at the Oscars once more. With the movie up for Animated Feature Film, there’s a good chance that del Toro’s award shelf could be about to get a lot heavier. With the awards coming on March 12, 2023, we don’t have long to find out if ‘Pinocchio’ will be a winner once more.

‘Pinocchio’ made history for so many reasons, especially when it made Netflix the first streaming service with a Golden Globe. It certainly seems as though the ride Guillermo del Toro gets to take from his incredible film is far from over just yet.
