It's like the yin to The Boss Baby's yang. And like The Breadwinner, it appears to be the type of movie Academy members really go for. Its unique style follows the mystery surrounding the death of famed painter Vincent van Gogh in 1890 France. It has the distinction of being the world's first fully painted animated feature. You'd think that is probably the winner.īut then there's also Loving Vincent, which is the final film nominated. Drawing strength from the fantastical stories she invents, Parvana embarks on an epic quest to find her father and reunite her family. Working alongside a friend, she soon discovers a new world of freedom and danger. After the wrongful arrest of her father, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy to support her family. The animated tale follows Parvana, an 11-year-old girl who lives under Taliban rule in Afghanistan in 2001. First up is The Breadwinner, which is somewhat serious fare. And this year we have two obscure contenders. Oscar likes to throw out some wild cards that most general audiences have never heard of when it comes to the Best Animated Features field. But it's not exactly the winner by default. Of course Pixar's Coco got nominated alongside The Boss Baby. The general consensus is that most adult fans who have seen Ferdinand like it. Another unexpected inclusion was Ferdinand, which stars John Cena as a talking bull. Heading into the Oscars, The Boss Baby wasn't exactly at the top of anyone's list, so Oscar voters certainly surprised those watching the live telecast this morning. Most fans crying out against The Boss Baby's unexpected Oscar nomination are upset that The LEGO Batman Movie didn't get a nom instead. And basically, it's a really annoying kids movie. The two must come together as true brothers to stop the dastardly scheme, save their parents, restore order to the world, and prove that love is indeed an infinite force. (voiced by disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, which should have put it out of the running right there) that threatens to destroy the balance of love in the world, and this brash baby executive masquerading as his new brother is at the center of it all. In doing so, he stumbles upon a secret plot by the CEO of Puppy Co. The story follows the older brother of this fast-talking briefcase-carrying baby, who embarks on a mission to win back the sole affection of his parents. The movie stars the voice of Alec Baldwin as a baby genius, though he's basically doing his Trump impression.
