New Oscar Parameters

One more bit of evidence that animation continues to gain marketplace viability:

... [T]he [Motion Picture] academy's Board of Governors decided Tuesday to eliminate the need to "activate" the animation category -- i.e. decide on a yearly basis whether to have the category at all -- a decision that in the past had to be voted on by the board. ...

They're also going to be more flexible on the number of nominees allowed each year. And I wouldn't be surprised if, in the near future, pressure is brought to bear to expand the definition of what qualifies as animation. (MoCap, anyone?)
