Moana's awards hopes are not done yet, as the animated movie has picked up two more prestigious nominations today.
Disney's Pacific princess has received both BAFTA and Producer's Guild Award nominations today, which will see it compete against Finding Dory, Zootopia and Kubo and the Two Strings in both ceremonies.
It is good news for the animated hit, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Temuera Morrison. The movie missed out on both of the Golden Globes it was nominated for on Monday, losing Best Animated Movie to Zootopia and Best Original Song to La La Land, one of the seven awards the musical won.
And it looks as though La La Land is set for even more awards. It has the most nominations at the BAFTA's with 11, including Best Picture, Director and acting awards for stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.

Amy Adams is hot on their tail though. Both of her movies, Arrival and Nocturnal Animals, picked up nine nominations each. Moonlight, which won Best Drama at the Globes, only garnered four nominations.
There were few surprises on the nominations list, with many of the categories matching up with the Globes and Screen Actors Guild. Meryl Streep grabbing her 15th BAFTA nomination for Florence Foster Jenkins, hours after Donald Trump slammed her as "over-rated" on Twitter following her powerful Globes speech against the President-elect.
Cannes Palme d'Or winner I, Daniel Blake picked up five nominations, but has so far been shut out of all the American awards. Fantastic Beasts also earned five, continuing the BAFTA success for the Harry Potter film franchise. The eighth films never won an Academy Award but have garnered several BAFTA wins, including an Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema.
Snubs for Denzel Washington and Moonlight director Barry Jenkins has led to some to slam the list as being 'BAFTAsSoWhite', after years of white-washing controversy at the Oscars. Washington, who has two Oscars, has never been nominated for a BAFTA. Isabelle Huppert, who picked up a Globe for controversial black comedy Elle, missed out on a nomination for Best Actress.
The awards were read out by Sophie Turner and Dominic Cooper. The ceremony will take place on February 13, with Stephen Fry as host.
