Something interested I've noticed is that since 2006 the Oscars and Annies seem to go back and forth between agreeing on the Best Animated Feature.
2006: Annie - Cars, Oscar - Happy Feet
2007: both went to Ratatouille
2008: Annie - Kung Fu Panda, Oscar - Wall-E
2009: both went to Up
2010: Annie - How to Train Your Dragon, Oscar - Toy Story 3
2011: both went to Rango
2012: Annie - Wreck-It Ralph, Oscar - Brave
2013: both went to Frozen
2014: Annie - How to Train Your Dragon 2, Oscar - Big Hero 6
So I guess whatever wins the Annie next year is taking the Oscar.
I still think it's going to be between Inside Out and Peanuts. Though if both Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur are similarly acclaimed and both nominated, I can see them splitting their votes among the Academy's Pixar fans.
