“This event, firstly, of course, is joyful, but, most importantly, it is important for our picture and for its promotion in the world box office, since this is a very significant award all over the world. Further - only in the hands of fate itself, well, and, of course, in the hands of members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who will soon vote. Now, only on their general opinion will the outcome and decision in favor of the winner in the nomination depend. We will be patient and wait for this ball to fall out, ”said Andrei Zvyagintsev at a press conference.

The film “Leviathan” by Andrei Zvyagintsev has already won many awards in the short period since the premiere. So, he entered the competition program of the 67th Cannes Film Festival, where he received a prize for the best script. Then the picture was awarded the main prize of the Asia Pacific Screen Awards in Brisbane as the best film. Also, “Leviathan” was nominated by Russia for the Oscar in the category “Best Film in a Foreign Language”.

The American Golden Globes film award is considered the second most important award in the world. The nominees and winners of this award are selected by the foreign press of Hollywood, and not film academics, as in the Oscars. The Golden Globe Award Ceremony will take place on January 11, 2015, and will be held for the 72nd time.
