Hi, I'm Kim Masters. Thanks for listening to the business podcast. You know, KCRW produces another podcast that you might want to check out. My frequent banter buddy, Michael Schneider, hosts it. It's called the spinoff. It's about television. Industry insights and trends and shows that we watch or shows that we don't. Find the spinoff on KCRW's iTunes page.

From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

There was a point at which there was even a discussion, you know, well, if this were Marvel, we would do it this way.

But it was never, because it's Marvel, you have to do it this way.

Big Hero Six is the first Disney animated film inspired by a Marvel comic book. But it wasn't marketed

that way. Producer Roy Connolly and top Disney animation executive Andrew Milstein explain why.

But first on the news banter, Golden Globe nominations are out, and the Sony

hack attack continues to wreak havoc. Stay tuned, it's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my banter buddy, Michael Schneider of TV Guide magazine. Hello, Michael. Hello, Kim.

So, Michael, let's start with the Golden Globes.

In the past, they have been quite laughable on occasion.

And still are on occasion.

On occasion.

But this year, I have to say, I feel like they, you know, you can argue about this choice or that choice.

But certainly, you know, it's not an embarrassing series of choices.

And there are some pandering

selections they could have made. And they overlooked those opportunities. I'll mention at the top

in the movie category, both Angelina Jolie's Unbroken and Christopher Nolan's interstellar

overlooked, which is sort of hard to imagine in years past. Especially Angelina, the fact that

now she may not even show up to the show.

I mean, and they've got to think about that.

So Angelina Jolie's not going to show up to the Golden Globe telecast.
