With wins at the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, the Producers Guild of America, and a dominant showing at the Annie Awards, KPop Demon Hunters is the undisputed frontrunner for Best Animated Feature. If it weren’t for eligibility reasons, you’d have to presume it would have taken the BAFTA as well to make this a total clean sweep. Is there a chance for an upset? No.
