FINAL 2019 Oscar Predictions: ANIMATED FEATURE

Published by

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Sony Animation)

It’s hard to bet against a film that’s so utterly dominated nearly all precursors and that’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I know people want to make a spoiler argument for Incredibles 2 but sequels have a tough time here; Toy Story 3 is the only sequel to win the Animated Feature Oscar and the first Incredibles already won. Is the Disney/Pixar contingent strong enough to blow past such a locked in winner?

The one thing that gives me pause (not much though) is when 2014’s Big Hero 6 bested How to Train Your Dragon 2 but that was also the year that The Lego Movie won nearly everything and was snubbed at the Oscars. Spider-Verse is only Sony Animation’s second nomination here, which would also make it its first win.

1. SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE – Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman (Annie, BAFTA, BFCA, GG, VES)
2. INCREDIBLES 2 – Brad Bird
3. ISLE OF DOGS – Wes Anderson
4. RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET – Rich Moore, Phil Johnston
5. MIRAI – Mamoru Hosoda
Annie – International Animated Film Association
BAFTA – British Film Academy Awards
BFCA – Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critics Choice)
GG – Golden Globes
VES – Visual Effects Society

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
