Golden Globe Awards
The Golden Globes are awarded annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. U2 was nominated four times for Best Original Song: Their song "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" from the Wim Wenders Movie Faraway, So Close! was nominated in 1994, but lost against Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia". For "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from Batman Forever they were nominated again in 1996, but again no win (Winner: "Colors of the Wind" by Vanessa Williams). Finally, in 2003, they received the Award for "The Hands That Built America", which appeared in Gangs of New York. In 2010 their song "Winter" for the film Brothers was also nominated but lost against the song "The Weary Kind" by Ryan Bingham for Crazy Heart. The Edge of U2 described how the band plans to celebrate the nomination. "I think we might have a pint of Guinness in honor of (director) Jim (Sheridan) and his great piece of work.

“The hand that signed the paper felled a city;
Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath,
Doubled the globe of dead and halved a country;
These five kings did a king to death.”
