The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that the 83rd Academy Awards animated short films category will now advance in the voting process. Among the animated shorts that advanced was Pixar’s “Day & Night” animated short that was attached to the beginning of Toy Story 3. Just imagine if “Toy Story 3″ and “Day & Night” both win at the Oscars, it’s going to be crazy.
