Notes

  • Eleven out of fifteen PGA-winning animated films won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
  • Two PGA-winning animated films were not nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature: The Adventures of Tintin (2011) and The Lego Movie (2014). The Adventures of Tintin was not nominated as it was ineligible by using motion capture as its technique; the Academy rules do not consider motion capture as an animation technique.[14] (The Lego Movie was eventually nominated for Best Original Song)
  • 2008 is the only year when the nominees and eventual winner matched correctly.
