Like many animation fans, I was delighted by the victory of Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse in the Best Animated Feature category in 2019 – but also by the nomination of Mamoru Hosoda’s Mirai, the first Oscar-nominated feature that wasn’t made by Studio Ghibli.
When the nominations were first announced in January 2019, I wrote an article about the year’s animated nominees for the AllTheAnime website.
I have also written articles about some previous Animated Oscar line-ups: in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. I also wrote a piece relating to the changes in the category’s voting rules in 2017.
