One of the five "Best" Oscar nominees. But most the most likely winner (per a majority of the media)?
The Best Animated Feature category at the Oscars might as well be called the “Pixar Award.” The trophy has been handed out just 18 times, since the 2002 Oscars ceremony (which honored the films of 2001), when Shrek — yes, Shrek — won. At nine of those 18 ceremonies, Pixar took home the prize, including winning four years in a row, from 2008 to 2011 (for Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, and Toy Story 3). Pixar is also the most recent winner in this category, with Coco as the reigning champion.
But there’s a challenger on the horizon. Going into the 2019 Oscars, Sony Pictures Animation’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has won every major precursor award, including a clean sweep of the animation industry’s Annie Awards. ...
Yes, indeed. All indicators are that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will walk away with the Academy Award.
It's pretty to think that a candidate NOT created by an entertainment conglomerate will get the prize. But that's as likely to happen as the U.S. of A. going back on the gold standard.
So Spidey it will very likely be.
