Best Animated Feature: CGI Crowd-pleasers vs. Traditionally Animated Critical Hits

This is one of the only categories where it seems like any of the nominees has a decent shot of winning. Since year-long frontrunner The LEGO Movie is not in contention, the best bets are crowd-pleasing blockbusters from Disney (Big Hero 6) and DreamWorks (How To Train Your Dragon 2). Still, the nuanced and poignant films from revered animators Tomm Moore (Song of the Sea) and Isao Takahata (The Tale of the Princess Kaguya) have passionate support bases and could surprise.
