2019 Animated Feature Film Oscars Predictions & Contenders

This year’s Oscar race for Animated Feature Film may be the first year all five nominees were studio releases since 2013. The winner is already locked, Brad Bird’s “Incredibles 2,” but the battle for the other four slots is unexpectedly fierce. The one real non-studio player that could make the cut is “Mirai” and we’re hedging our bets it will knock out at least one of the more well-known contenders. [Posted Nov. 26]
