            <p><em>The Revenant</em>, released on Christmas, was the big winner at the Golden Globe Awards last night taking home Best Motion Picture —  Drama, Best Performance by an Actor —  Drama, and Best Director – Motion Picture. While it didn’t win for Best Original Score – Motion Picture, it did receive the nomination. And we do approve of the location it chose for recording its soundtrack — Bastyr University’s chapel in Kenmore, built in 1958. According to Bastyr, the acoustics of the chapel are so good that it often serves as a recording site for Hollywood scores, as well as those for video games.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://dev.cascadepbs.org/content/images/sites/default/files/images/article/gallery/bastyr-chapel-orchestra_new.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="Bastyr University chapel" loading="lazy" width="504" height="305"></figure>
