Each year, I'm curious as to which Oscar nominees have a connection to books/comic books for children or young adults. Those 2020 nominees with such a connection (according to my research) are listed below. (From those movies, I've only seen Little Women so far - I absolutely loved it!)
Little Women received six Academy Award nominations: Best Picture; Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score & Best Costume Design.
How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was nominated for one Academy Award: Best Animated Feature Film.
Avengers: Endgame was nominated for Best Visual Effects.
Hair Love was nominated for Best Animated Short Film.
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil received a nomination for Best Makeup & Hairstyling. (Connection to the Grimms' Fairy Tale "Snow White.")
Frozen II received one Oscar nomination: Best Original Song. (Connection to "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen.)
Congratulations to all these Oscar-nominated films from 2019, and for their amazing homage to children's literature!
