Canadian talent from major Hollywood films including "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," "Ford v Ferrari" and "1917" are headed to the Oscars. Animator Dean DeBlois, who hails from Aylmer, Que., got a nod for best animated feature for "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," which he wrote and directed. It's the final instalment in the Oscar-nominated animated film trilogy, which has the lead voice of Montreal-raised actor Jay Baruchel as a young Viking named Hiccup. DeBlois was previously nominated for Oscars for 2011's "How to Train Your Dragon" and the 2015 sequel. Sound engineer PaulMassey is in the running for best sound mixing on "Ford v Ferrari." The biographical drama stars Matt Damon as American car designer Carroll Shelby and Christian Bale as British driver Ken Miles. This is the ninth Oscar nomination for Massey, and just last year he won the golden statuette for his work on "Bohemian Rhapsody." Vancouver-born production designer Dennis Gassner is a contender for best production design on the epic war film "1917." And the Montreal-based, Tunisian-born filmmaker Meryam Joobeur is nominated for best live action short for "Brotherhood."
