And The Oscar Goes To… “Encanto” and “The Windshield Wiper”

In case you missed it – and it seems many did… This year’s Academy Award for Best Animated Feature went to Disney’s Encanto. Best Animated Short was awarded to The Windshield Wiper. Both films were indeed Oscar-worthy, but clearly the Academy adhered to its longtime traditions – favoring films that touch the heart.

Jared Bush, Byron Howard, Yvett Merino and Clark Spencer accept the Oscar for Animated Feature for Encanto at Oscars 2022. Video below:

All the Animated Feature nominees appeared at an Academy Q&A this past Saturday – and the Academy has posted it here:
