Other big categories to watch on Oscars Sunday beyond Best Picture

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Hollywood's biggest night is quickly approaching and there are so many categories to watch at the 2024 Oscars beyond the "big 5."

One of those is Best Animated Feature.

Peter Sohn, the artist behind 20 years of Disney/Pixar's Oscar winners, earned his first nomination as the director of "Elemental."

"The whole thing is about bringing a lot of different point of views together and bridging them together," Sohn said. "The movie is about diversity and mixing."
