2018 Oscar Predictions: ANIMATED FEATURE (December Part 1)
Disney/Pixar’s Coco remains atop the chart for Animated Feature this month, as it has every month. The Breadwinner stays solid at #2 and although The LEGO Batman Movie stays at #3 it is gaining in points. It’s up from 19 last month to 26 this month. The Annie nominations were announced earlier this week where Coco and The Breadwinner led with 13 and 10 apiece, respectively.
