Satoshi Kon’s Milennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers were both front runners for Oscar nomination. Likewise, The AniMatrix was not selected as a final nominee in the category of Best Animated Short Film.

The final three nominees for Best Animated Film are Brother Bear, Finding Nemo, and The Triplets of Belleville.
