This feels like a toss up between The Boy and the Heron and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. I haven't seen The Boy and the Heron yet. I thought Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was one of the best films of the year though. Elemental and Nimona were fine. I haven't seen Robot Dreams.

The Boy and the Heron.

Leo was the best animated film I've seen this year and I'm disappointed that it was snubbed.

Spider Man Across The Spiderverse

Spidey will almost certainly win - and it's not entirely undeserved - but if I were an Academy member, I would definitely have voted for either Elemental or Nimona

The latest Spidey was fun for sure, but it didn't seem to me to advance animation compared to that last installment.

I loved Leo too.

I've only seen Spider-Man and Nimona. Nimona disappointed me because it was so different from the source material but there was still a lot to like about it.

Just like Oppenheimer, this is also done and dusted. Spiderman. Upping part one was something of feat. But this one went miles above.

The Boy and the Heron prevailed over the Spider-Verse to win Best Animated Feature.

Alright, Miyazaki-san. That's a victory to be proud of.
