Oscars 2015: 8 Movies That Should Win (But Totally Won't)

5. Best Animated Feature

Should Win: Song Of The Sea Will Win: How To Train Your Dragon 2 There wouldn't even need to be a debate on who's more deserving of the Best Animated Feature had the Academy actually nominated The Lego Movie this year; seeing as they didn't, it's looking like How to Train Your Dragon 2 has become the obvious frontrunner. Which hardly seems fair, considering the Dreamworks sequel has already come out on top amongst its nominees at the box office by taking $618 million worldwide, which is more than all of the others combined. Ignore that film journos called How to Train Your Dragon 2 a 'box office failure' - Tomm Moore's gorgeous Song Of The Sea taking only $183,718 is a real box office failure. It's not just that Song Of The Sea deserves the award because it could use the exposure more than any other 2015 Animated nominee - it's also a legitimately great film. The category should be about the 'best', not just the most popular.
