How To Qualify For An Animation Oscar

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed the criteria it has set in place for the award of Best Animated Feature, which is likely to be presented for the first time next year. Under the rules, at least eight eligible animated films must be produced during the year. Each must be at least 70 minutes long, feature a significant number of animated characters, and animated scenes must account for at least 75 percent of the running time. The academy said that the Oscar in the new category will be presented only to “the key creative talent most clearly responsible for the overall achievement” and that no more than two Oscars will be presented in the category.
