Oscars: 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' wins the animated feature Oscar, in this timeline

Los Angeles Times

Early on, fans had every reason to be wary of Sony's Oscar-winning "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." The studio's last three Spider-movies outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe had seemed trapped in a web of confusion. And wouldn't a new release by the studio -- even an animated one -- conflict with the extremely popular Tom Holland iteration in the MCU? But all "Spider-Verse" has done since its release is earn the best reviews of any Spider-movie, ever (97% on Rotten Tomatoes) and sweep awards-season honors, including the animated feature Academy Award on Sunday night. It bested two competitors from Marvel's parent company, Disney, including early favorite "Incredibles 2" and "Ralph Breaks the Internet," as well as the smaller-scale "Isle of Dogs" and Japanese import "Mirai." Co-producer Chris Miller accepted the Oscar by saying, "There's 800 filmmakers [on this film] who pushed boundaries and took risks to make people feel powerful and seen."
