Fans of The Wild Robot just had their hearts broken into several pieces after the hit animated film failed to secure a single win at The 82nd Golden Globe Awards that recently aired on January 5, 2025. The animated science fiction was nominated in four major categories, including the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, but lost all four of them.

Viewers were left quite disappointed with the night's results, especially since the movie had managed to become the most nominated animated film ever in Golden Globe history.


Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans were seen sharing unique and hilarious theories on social media as to why a film that made both kids and adults cry got snubbed at the awards ceremony. Let's take a look at some of them.

Oscar buzz (via @friezsnake/X)

This user might be onto something. So what if The Wild Robot didn’t win the award for Best Animated Feature Film? It might just mean that an Oscar is on the way to make up for the Golden Globes snub.

The Golden Globes snub definitely reminded this user of something. Could it be the times when movies such as Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, or 2001: A Space Odyssey didn’t win the Oscar for Best Picture? Or was it the moment when La La Land was announced as the winner of Best Picture by mistake instead of Moonlight at the Oscars? Or maybe it’s something entirely different like Steve Harvey announcing the wrong winner at Miss Universe?

Rigged Awards (via @GreekGeekPJO/X)

It seems that The Wild Robot losing all its nominations at the Golden Globes was all it took to convince this user that every award show in the world is rigged.

The parent trap (via @YetiYeff/X)

This user humorously suggested that the only reason the movie lost was because it was about parenting. Does that mean all the people who didn’t vote for The Wild Robot hate their parents?

First DVD in a long time (via @YetiYeff/X)

Imagine loving the film so much that you bought a DVD of it, after Top Gun: Maverick being your last purchase, which is one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. So, the heartbreak from The Wild Robot's loss must have been immense!

Anti-AI sentiment (via @sonicshift/X)

Was The Wild Robot not given any awards because Hollywood is afraid that AI will take over their jobs? Talk about preparing well in advance!


Even though The Wild Robot lost at the Golden Globes, it sparked a lot of reactions on social media, with many arguing against the decision. Fans couldn’t help but find hilarious ways to justify the loss, which just goes to show how much the film was loved!
