Academy Award

Oscar trophy

The Academy Awards of Merit, also known as the Oscars and the Academy Awards, are a set of awards for excellence in cinematic achievements given annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Multiple Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts have earned awards, and many others have been nominated and screened but did not win. The ceremonies have been held since 1929.

Notes

• In the book The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons, the short "The Egg Collector" is erroneously stated to have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in both the Sniffles character description and the Sniffles filmography (although the Academy Award appendix later in the book does not list the short).
