Tier 1 - Predictions

WILD ROBOT (Universal/ Dreamworks) September wins: Atlanta, DC, Las Vegas, Michigan, Phoenix, St Louis, nominee: -- It sounds too similar to The Iron Giant but otherwise we have high hopes for this one come Oscar time.	INSIDE OUT 2 (Disney/Pixar) June wins: -- nominee: -- Though voters in the animation branch aren't always kind of sequels, we figure this Pixar title will likely prove an exception.	FLOW (Janus Films / Sideshow) Qualifying wins: EFA, LAFCA, Boston, NBR, Boston Online, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, nominee: EFA It's also aiming for Best International Feature but has a stronger shot here.	WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL (Netflix / Ardman) wins: -- nominee: -- Wallace & Gromit are old Oscar favourites. Can they do it again?	MEMOIR OF A SNAIL (IFC Films) October wins: -- nominee: -- A full length feature from Harvie Krumpet Oscar winner might be great. Time will tell.
Tier 2 - Potential Spoilers

PIECE BY PIECE (Tremolo \| Lego Group) October wins: -- nominee: -- Oscar hasn't responded that well to lego movies but they love biopics so... maybe?	CHICKEN FOR LINDA (Gkids) April wins: -- nominee: -- A festival smash last year and it already won the Cesar.	MOANA 2 (Disney) November Disney face-planted last year but it's not usual for them to miss this category. But historically this branch doesn't rush to honor sequels unless they feel passionately about it.	LIVING LARGE () Qualifier wins: -- nominee: EFA text	LOTR: WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM (New Line \| Warner Bros) December wins: -- nominee: -- Can Oscar voters fall back in love with Middle Earth in a different category?
