Truly Moving Pictures

On January 15, 2007, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honored the best of television and movies at their annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles. The star-studded event included several Truly Moving Pictures garnering nominations, including award winners The Queen, Cars, Happy Feet, Miss Potter and recent addition The Pursuit of Happyness.

The Queen, which follows Britain's royal family in the days immediately following the death of Princess Diana, took home two Golden Globes over the course of the evening. The film was honored with the Best Screenplay award and actress Helen Mirren (pictured) was recognizes as Best Actress in a Dramatic Motion Picture. Mirren's impressive performance has earned her plenty of attention this awards season, having been recognized already by critics from Boston to Los Angeles and several points in between.

Also nominated in the Best Actress category was Renee Zelleweger for her performance in Miss Potter, the biopic about Britain's beloved Beatrix Potter, author of the Peter Rabbit books for children.

Two animated films on the Truly Moving Pictures roster were honored in their own right, as both Cars, the summer blockbuster from Pixar, and Happy Feet, about a penguin who can't help but dance, both won Golden Globes of their own. Cars was recognized as the year's best Animated Film, an exceptional honor as it marks the first year for the category. Happy Feet earned its award in the Best Original Song category for the love song, "The Song of the Heart." The Pursuit of Happyness was also nominated in the same category.

Every time an organization recognizes the quality of a Truly Moving Picture, it serves as a nod to the effectiveness and influence of the Truly Moving Pictures Award. Heartland Truly Moving Pictures is proud to count so many quality films among the list of those honored at the Golden Globes and looks forward to the continued recognition of these films by audiences and organizations alike.
