Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and became the first film made by a studio other than Disney to win in seven years.
Disney has mostly had the animation Oscar category locked up at recent Academy Awards ceremonies, with the last few winners being Coco, Zootopia, Inside Out, Big Hero 6, and Frozen. The last non-Disney film to win was Rango in 2012.
