Fil-Am composer Robert Lopez and wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez gets Golden Globe nomination

Los Angeles — At 5am on Monday December 11, Fil-Am composer Robert Lopez and his wife and composing partner Kristen Anderson-Lopez were announced as Golden Globe nominees for their collaboration on the original song “Remember Me” for the Disney/Pixar movie, “Coco,” which also garnered a nom for Best Motion Picture - Animated.

“We are so grateful to our collaborators at Pixar for asking us to write a song that is so personally meaningful — about family, music, and saying goodbye to those you love. We couldn’t be prouder of what these filmmakers have achieved in ‘Coco’, a film that has always strived to faithfully portray and celebrate Mexican culture.

"Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press — we are humbled by your recognition," Robert and Kristen said as they reacted to their Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song – Motion Picture.”

The talented tandem also got a nod in 2014 in the same category for their powerful ballad, “Let It Go,” sung by Idina Menzel from the animated film, “Frozen”. The song ultimately also won the Academy Award for original song.

They are now busy working on “Frozen 2” and the Broadway version of “Frozen.” 

The nominations for the 75th anniversary of the Golden Globe Awards were announced on Monday by Alfre Woodard, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Bell and Sharon Stone at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) president Meher Tatna, Golden Globe Ambassador Simone Garcia Johnson (the daughter of Dwayne Johnson) and Executive Vice-President of Television of dick clark productions Barry Adelman were also present during the event.

“The Shape of Water” garnered seven nominations, while “The Post” and "Three BIllboards Outside Ebbing, Missour" got six nominations each. “Lady Bird” meanwhile got four.

Those with three noms include “All the Money in the World,” “Call Me By Your Name,” “Dunkirk,” “The Greatest Showman” and “I, Tonya.”

Unfortunately, the Philippine entry to the Golden Globes, “Birdshot” which was directed by the talented young filmmaker Mikhail Red, did not make the cut.

The foreign films that made the magic 5 were Chile’s “A Fantastic Woman,” Cambodia’s “First They Killed My Father,” Germany/France’s “In the Fade,” Russia’s “Loveless,” and Sweden/Germany/France’s “The Square.”

Mini bottles of Moet & Chandon were given to guests who arrived at the hotel at the crack of dawn. The said event was also livestreamed exclusively on Facebook Live and GoldenGlobes.com aside from being broadcast live on NBC.
