On this first episode in a series of 2021 Oscars Category Predictions, Nick and Sophia discuss the biggest contenders for Best Animated Feature. With Soul (1:57) and Wolfwalkers (14:46) as the frontrunners, are they already able to crown a clear winner? Will they also be nominated in other categories, like Best Original Screenplay or Best Picture?
Next, they share their thoughts on hot animated dads and the last film they saw in theaters before lockdown, Onward. Will it take the third slot and lead Pixar to its first double nomination (21:45)? Finally, they run through a number of wacky and creative animated films—from Netflix’s Over the Moon to the early VOD hit, Trolls: World Tour to decide who has the best potential to fill the two remaining slots (27:18).
