Disney's 'Paperman' from "Wreck It Ralph" is Up for Oscar Consideration

Disney Animation’s short film, “Paperman” which is opening for the blockbuster hit “Wreck-It Ralph” is one of 10 animated shorts that have already made the cut for the Oscar nod. It is being reported that “Paperman” is an early favorite for the win but there is a lot of time between now and the 85th Academy Awards that will be held on February 24th and so we will have to wait and see.

Fifty-six films were submitted in the short animated film category; and out of those came a list of the 10 that are moving forward from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The short films and feature animation branch members will select from three to five nominees from that shortlist. The nominees will be announced January 10th.
