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.

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or globe:
“She stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasp’d by the golden light of morn,”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
“Even to this day it is easier than it ought to be for me to get a rise out of an American by telling him something about himself which is equally true about every human being on the face of the globe. He at once resents this as a disparagement and an assertion on my part that people in other parts of the globe are not like that, and are loftily superior to such weaknesses.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
