Gold Derby has Expert predictions for Best Animated Feature! http://www.goldderby.com/awardshows/expert-predictions/oscars-nominations-2017/animated-feature/sort/recent/ 16 out of 19 experts have Zootopia as the #1 pick.

Great plan. Impeccable.

Zootopia was already the frontrunner because it was clearly Disney's darling. Now all ambiguity is out the window. Plus, many voters are going to think "Oh, wasn't Zootopia that cute movie that was anti-racism? Probably should go with that."

Trump's victory puts a whole new life into Zootopia's Oscar campaign. Disney was already pushing the movie hard. Maybe it can squeak a nomination here.

Now that Trump won the presidency, Zootopia is 100% guaranteed to get the Oscar.

Uh, almost no one saw Whiplash.

Zootopia is clearly Disney's favorite. The filmmakers are still talking to the press 8 months after the movie opened. http://www.vulture.com/2016/11/zootopia-predict-trump.html http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/how-zootopia-tackled-fear-mongering-colorful-metropolis-945129

Probably not.

Baby Driver moved its date to August, probably to avoid confusion with this movie. Smart movie.

Lol, but none of those are coming out this Friday.

Keep in mind that Friday is a Holiday. I think that means that Dr. Strange has an even better chance.

? Why?

I obviously don't agree with that. I'm still not sold on the idea that the general audience is sold on this movie.

It might beat them, but that doesn't mean it's getting past $100m dom.

Holy shit, something we agree on!

Really good for Trolls, considering that it's going to go nuts on Tuesday.

Yeah, I was the slowpoke:

BTW, it says that it Moonlight is "coming soon", so with luck, I'll see it.

Yeah, I know this is supposed to be tongue in cheek, but there's no way you can do a movie called The Lego Batman Movie 2 and not feel a bit dead inside.

BTW, now that I've watched the trailer, I expect this to make $120m opening weekend and $350m domestic.

I just realized that Jenny Slate voices Harley Quinn in this. So she's going to be a small player in 3 different animated blockbusters from 3 different studios. Shit, maybe she's going to be every animated feature.

Story of his life.

I don't know why you're assuming the reviews will be good...

I dunno. Maybe there's bias against play adaptions. Doubt and Rabbit Hole didn't get Best Picture nominations.
