Vampire Hunter D Possibly Going to Oscar Night

Urban Vision has confirmed that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPASS) has reversed its decision to exclude Vampire Hunter D from eligibility for submission to this year’s Academy Awards. Films submitted for nomination as Best Animated Feature must also be submitted as candidates for Best Feature Film. Urban Vision was unaware of this and applied for only the Best Animated Film catagory. After appealing the initial rejection, AMPASS has decided to allow Vampire Hunter D to be among the 10 feature length animated films from 2001 that will be narrowed down to 5 or 6 official nominees for an Academy Award.
