The Harry Potter prequel/spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them also took home a BAFTA for Best Production Design, as did Mel Gibson’s true story-based WWII drama/thriller, Hacksaw Ridge for editing.
Zootopia is still arguably the favorite to be dubbed best animated feature over Kubo by the Academy, but an upset victory isn’t out of the question either.
