The Young Folks Oscar Panel Series: Animated Movie & VFX

Another day another category and this one has to be my favorite. In my opinion the Best Animated Picture nominations are more interesting and show off more intriguing artistry than the Best Picture nominations. Couple this with the Visual Effects nominations and there’s list of ways that film is progressing and the new tools being utilized to submerge viewers further into their created worlds. Check out our video where we were joined by fellow writer Jose and the full list of nominees below. Make sure to comment on what your picks would be!
