Viewers have the opportunity to see Nimona before the Oscars

Originally a production of Blue Sky Studios, it was set to be directed by Oscar winner Patrick Osborne, with a 2020 release date. However, when Walt Disney Company bought 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Blue Sky, it was delayed multiple times before being officially canceled. Annapurna Pictures revived the project the following year, with animation veterans Nick Bruno and Troy Quane announced as directors.

The Best Animated Feature category this year is loaded with Nimona having competition with Robot Dreams, Elemental, The Boy and the Heron, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The first Spider-Verse movie won Best Animated Feature five years ago and Studio Ghibli's The Boy and The Heron appears to be the frontrunner as of now having won the Golden Globe last month.

The Academy Awards air on March 10.
