Oscars took the time to celebrate the iconic duo of Woody and Buzz Lightyear as they presented the gold man to their fellow Pixar/Disney family, Inside Out for Best Animated Film.

This is the fourth year in a row that the Pixar/Disney duo has taken home Oscar gold. Brave won in 2013, Frozen in 2014, and Big Hero 6 won last year.

The movie, based around the Amy Pohler-led journey of an 11-year-old girl, was also up for Best Original Screenplay but lost to Spotlight. But considering they movie made almost $857 million worldwide, it was the most successful of all the movies in the category.

The other films up for Animated Feature Film were Anomalsia, Boy & The WorldShaun The Sheep and When Marnie Was There. 

Along with Poehler as Joy, Inside Out also starred voice-over work by Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Bill Hader as Fear, Lewis Black as Anger and Mindy Kaling as Disgust with Kaitlyn Dias as 11-year old Riley Anderson. Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan voiced the roles of Riley’s parents.

The film had a total of 10 wins out of 14 nominations at the 43th Annie Awards earlier this month.
