Not much change this month with so much up in the air in terms of in a category that is dependent on the number of official eligible submissions.
While a nearly three-year old stop motion film named The Wolf House picked up an animated feature win from Boston, the first group to announce this season, because the film was previously released on MUBI, it is ineligible this year.
Pixar’s Soul and Apple’s Wolfwalkers will likely be locked in battle all the way to the end but after Toy Story 4‘s win last season I’m not going to count out the animation studio’s dominance with voters.
Two new entries this month with Funimation’s Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugan Train and Bombay Rose, one of Netflix’s many possibilities.
Here are my ranked 2021 Oscar predictions in Animated Feature for December.
