Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse picks up serious Oscars momentum

Sony may be poised to become one of the few studios other than Disney to win an animation Oscar.

Each year, the Oscar for Best Animated Feature tends to go to a Disney film almost by default. In fact, since the award was introduced in 2002, the studio has won it 13 out of 17 times, as Polygon points out. Disney has really solidified its grasp over the trophy in recent years; in the past decade, only a single film released by anyone other than Disney has won: Rango in 2012. At this year's Academy Awards, Disney is submitting Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet.
