The Envelope, Please

Oscar nominees for "Best Animated Feature" were announced early this morning (as per usual):

THE FEATURE ANIMATION CANDIDATES FOR A LITTLE GOLD MAN

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD

Jérémy Clapin and Marc du Pontavice

KLAUS

Sergio Pablos, Jinko Gotoh and Marisa Román

MISSING LINK

Chris Butler, Arianne Sutner and Travis Knight

TOY STORY 4

And if my crystal ball is working right, I would say the race will come down to one of the nominees from a Monster Entertainment Conglomerate ... which narrows the contest down a wee bit, don't you think?
