2022 OSCARS PREDICTIONS:
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
UPDATED: Feb 17, 2022
AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY:
Walt Disney Pictures’ “Encanto,” directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard and co-directed by Charise Castro Smith, is a box office success and doing great numbers on Disney Plus. It made history with all three of its nominations. As one of the producers, Yvett Merino is the first Latina ever nominated in animated feature. Composer Germaine Franco is the first Latina recognized in original score and Lin-Manuel Miranda is the first Latino to be nominated more than once in original song, bringing him one step closer to EGOT status.
It’s not a foregone conclusion for “Encanto” in this category though with the history-making “Flee” and the critical darling “The Mitchells vs. The Machines” offering up viable alternatives to be recognized.
It might be closer than many presume.
“Luca” and the Annie Award leader “Raya and the Last Dragon” have supporters but seem too far behind to catch up.
