“KPop Demon Hunters” is one step closer to another golden moment: The Oscars. The Netflix hit is among 35 films eligible for the Animated Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released the list on Friday. Although it gained fame on Netflix, the film had a qualifying theatrical run in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in June. Other contenders include Disney’s “Elio” and “Zootopia 2,” and Crunchyroll/Sony’s “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.” Fans will find out if it makes the cut for a nomination on January 22.
