Oscars 2015: Disney Wins It All!

The 87th Academy Awards have revealed their winners in the animation categories. And as you probably guessed from the title of this post, the Oscar goes to…

This is Disney's second win in a row, after last year's Frozen success - a treat that only Pixar managed to accomplish before, having won in back-to-back years with Finding Nemo and The Incredibles and even pulling off an impressive (but well deserved) 4-year streak, from Ratatouille to Toy Story 3. What Disney has done in the last two years is nothing short of spectacular either, and winning this Academy Award, in what was a strong year for animation, is quite a performance. Congrats to directors Don Hall, Chris Williams and to all the Big Hero 6 crew; congratulations also to the other nominees: The Boxtrolls, How to Train your Dragon 2, Song of the Sea and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
