“Thank You” Qualifies for Oscar
As of yesterday, storyboarder Tom Herpich’s Adventure Time episode, “Thank You,” is one of forty-five animated short films qualified by the MPAA for a 2011 Oscar in the category. Animation World Network writes,
From these 45 films, the annual 10 film “short list” will be chosen for voting by the members of the Short Films and Animated Features branch, which will whittle the list down to the final 5 nominees. These nominees are then voted on by the entire Academy membership at designated screenings.
For the entire list of qualifying shorts, head to AWN.
