FILM SYNOPSIS: Twenty years in the future, the Japanese city of Megasaki is facing a pandemic of dog flu, prompting Mayor Kobayashi to decree that all canines be exiled to Trash Island. Atari, the mayor’s 12-year-old nephew, refuses to accept the banishment of his beloved pet, however, and embarks on a hazardous quest to retrieve him.
Anything Wes Anderson cannot be counted out. But this year seems to belong to “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.” And if anything is going to upset, it would probably be Pixar’s “Incredibles 2.”

ALEXANDRE DESPLAT
The Academy also loves Alexandre Desplat, so you can never count him out, but there are better scores out there this year, including Nicholas Britell’s “If Beale Street Could Talk.” The fact that Desplat won last year for “The Shape Of Water” also works against him.
