'TS3' accepted in Oscar animated feature category

Toy Story 3 is one of fifteen films accepted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for consideration in the Animated Feature Film category at the upcoming 83rd Academy Awards.

The submission of fifteen pictures means that there will be three nominees in the category. (In years where sixteen or more movies qualify, five are nominated.) Toy Story 3 is, of course, the front runner for the award.
