Competing works included ▲ "Avatar: Fire and Ash" ▲ "Sinners" ▲ "Wicked: For Good" ▲ "Train Dreams," among others.
Lee Jae, the singer and composer of "Golden," said in an acceptance speech, "I worked nonstop for 10 years to achieve the single dream of being an 'idol,' but I was rejected and disappointed because they said my voice wasn't enough," and added, "I leaned on singing and music to overcome the pain, and now I stand here as a singer and composer."
Lee continued, "I became part of a song that helps other girls and boys, and everyone, overcome hardship and accept themselves," adding, "It's a dream come true."
Kedehun was also nominated at this Golden Globe Awards for animated feature and cinematic and box office achievement, and the winners in these categories have not yet been announced.
First held in 1944, the Golden Globe Awards is one of Hollywood's major award ceremonies, presenting separate awards for film and TV. The nominees and winners across all 28 categories are decided by votes from a jury of about 300 journalists in the global entertainment field.
