Demon Slayer Loses Best Animated Movie Award in Major Golden Globe Snub
![]()
The animated film Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle received a Golden Globe nomination for ‘Best Motion Picture – Animated’ at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, which took place on January 11, 2026. However, in a surprising result, it lost to Netflix’s unexpectedly popular movie of 2025, KPop Demon Hunters. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was only the fifth anime film ever to be nominated for a Golden Globe, and it nearly won – it would have been the second anime film to do so, following Studio Ghibli’s 2023 film, The Boy and the Heron, if not for KPop Demon Hunters’ victory.
