Pixar may be the king of the Best Animated Feature Oscar category but its fortunes are much different when it comes to the Best Animated Short race. In fact, for a long time it was actually a safer bet to not predict Pixar films to triumph in the short category. Recent years have seen those fortunes turn around though and that could give them a huge leg up in this year’s race for Animated Short with their nominated work “Kitbull.”
Since the studio netted their first nomination in 1986 for “Luxo Jr.,” Pixar has gotten nominated 16 times in the short film category. They lost that first race but had a really good run winning the category with their next three nominations: “Tin Toy” (1988), “Geri’s Game” (1997) and “For the Birds” (2001).
