Overview
- The Academy placed the Netflix musical on its 35-title eligibility roster for Best Animated Feature, joining entries from Disney, Neon, GKids and others, while China's Ne Zha 2 is not listed.
- A qualifying theatrical run in June in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco satisfied Academy rules.
- The film is Netflix’s most-watched title to date with more than 541 million hours streamed, according to reports.
- The song Golden has been submitted for Best Original Song consideration, and eight tracks from the soundtrack reached the Billboard Hot 100.
- The film is not eligible for BAFTA consideration because its U.K. release did not meet that academy’s requirements, and the Oscars ceremony is scheduled for March 15 in Los Angeles.
