| HOW'D THEY GET NOMINATED? | ||||
| WHAT WILL WIN? | ||||
| Given its nomination tally (3 which is strong for Animated Features) we expect that The Wild Robot will win this with ease. It's a good movie, too, which makes the lock not too disappointing. | ||||

Most pundits predicted these five so it probably wasn't close. That said Disney's Moana 2 made a last minute surge helped by big box office. Earlier in the year War of the Rohirrim and Piece by Piece seemed like high profile possibilities but they didn't catch fire with audiences or the industry. Well respected international options like Chicken for Linda, Living Large, Kensuke's Kingdom, and Sultana's Dream ran into the typical problem for international titles: voters usually only notice one title en masse from the dozens on view and this year that was Flow. The rest of the eligibility list: Art College 1994, Captain Avispa, The Colors Within, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Despicable Me 4, The Garfield Movie, Ghost Cat Anzu, The Glassworker (also submitted for International Feature), The Imaginary, Kung Fu Panda 4, Look Back, Mars Express, Rocket Club: Across the Cosmos, Sirocco and the Kingdom of Winds, Spellbound, That Christmas, Thelma the Unicorn, Transformers One, and Ultraman: Rising
