A Round-Up Of Our Coverage Devoted To This Year’s Oscar-Contending Animated Features
What is colloquially known as “awards season” in the film industry ends this Sunday with the presentation of the Academy Awards, but in some ways, it actually closes out tomorrow, after the voting period ends for the Oscars.
As Academy voters go through the categories one final time and review their choices, we’re presenting this recap of our key coverage of the Oscar-contending films: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Klaus, I Lost My Body, Missing Link, and Toy Story 4.
