The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has received 15 submissions for this year's Best Animated Feature Film category, meaning three films will be nominated for the Oscar.

though i read, on cartoonbrew, that they would nominate 5.
which would increase Paul and Sandra's chances for a nomination considerably

Congratulations Paul & Sandra!

(what? Nominations for Cats & Dogs 2, Tinker Bell.. come on!)

[Paul Fierlinger]

There are only 15 approved contenders, which allows for just 3 nominees; if there had been 16 contenders there would have been room for 5 nominees -- and all sorts of pests, vermin, dogs and birds but no cats, according to Academy rules.
