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.
