Danish director Gabriel Axel, a Golden Globe nominee for his Babette's Feast, has died aged 95. His was one of seven Golden Globes nominations garnered by Denmark over the years, from The Word, the winner in 1956, to Susanne Bier's In a Better World, the 2011 winner. Ironically Axel lost to another Danish entry that was also nominated that year and won the Globe for best foreign movie of 1989, August Bulle's Pelle the Conqueror.
