Coco received two Academy Award nominations.
At the 90th Academy Awards, Coco was nominated for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. Its song nomination was for “Remember Me,” written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Coco won both awards, making the film a double Oscar winner rather than merely a two-time nominee.
The Best Animated Feature recognition honored the Pixar production and its creative team, led by director Lee Unkrich and producer Darla K. Anderson. “Remember Me” serves several roles in the story: it begins as Ernesto de la Cruz’s showpiece, becomes emotionally connected to Héctor and Coco, and ultimately helps preserve a family bond.
The number can be confused with Coco’s nominations at other award ceremonies. For example, it received two Golden Globe nominations but was nominated in different categories there. The question asks specifically about the Academy Awards, where the total was two.
