The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Short Films and Feature Animation Branch reviewing committee is advancing 10 animated short films to be voted on by the branch for Oscar nominations. Fifty-eight pictures had originally qualified in the category. While Disney frontrunner "Feast," from Patrick Osborne, is on the shortlist, and Bill Plympton has two shorts in contention, shockingly, Pixar's "Lava" (James Ford) did not make the cut.
