I honestly didn’t expect the list to hit so soon on the heels of my item earlier this afternoon, but hit it has. And it actually appears that “The Dreams of Jinsha” was the other title submitted, not “Chico & Rita.”
Alas, there are only 15 titles that qualified, meaning we will only see three nominees in the category this year. “Yogi Bear,” predictably, did not qualify, while “Idiots and Angels,” it turns out, did. I’d LOVE to see Bill Plympton in an Oscar race.
The rest are the usual suspects, but it’s a real shame we can’t have a full slate this year. Speaking solely for myself, I’m liking a lot of feature animation in 2010. TheGolden Globes, however, could still see five nominees as long as 14 titles were submitted to the HFPA for consideration. Check out Oscar’s field of animated feature contenders after the jump.
