With nominations just around the corner, Amid Amidi breaks down the possible winners and competitors for the award, many of which use similar collage-based animations that feature interesting transitions and vivid musical compositions, but also many hand-drawn animations as well.

Studios and Walt Disney studios; while artists are tied to studios these days, it seems that they are are more recognized for their individual work for the animation.
