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.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
