Oscars 2018: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)

13. Animated Feature Film

The Boss Baby
Dreamworks

Nominees: The Boss Baby, The Breadwinner, Coco, Ferdinand, Loving Vincent

Who Should Win

Coco

Really anything but The Boss Baby would be ok, but Coco is a gorgeous film from Pixar, and one of their best efforts of the decade (a decade that has, admittedly, seen their crown slip just a tad). It's not just a visual feast for the eyes, and a meticulously researched homage on Dios des Muertas, but a shockingly honest and beautiful commentary on life, death, and what comes next.

Who Will Win

Coco

When Pixar are in the mix, they tend to win. Not since Cars have they been nominated for Best Animated Feature and lost, and that streak doesn't look like stopping with Coco - it's their best movie since Inside Out (which also won this award), has had plenty of love elsewhere, and it's got a great Original Song entry to further establish it in the minds of voters.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
