DisneyExaminer Meets Oscar…Again.

We’ve come to that time of year again where all sorts of prestigious organizations in show business start handing out nominations and awards to various film, TV, and music professionals.

Once again, Disney and its various showbiz divisions are in the running this year for multiple awards…and for good reason! They all are awesome.

Out of all the awards, there’s one award that is known the world over to be the most coveted. We’re talking about Oscar.

This year, DisneyExaminer has once again been invited to cover the  Academy Awards, which celebrates outstanding achievements in film in the past year.

We’ll be in Hollywood during the week leading up to Oscar Sunday, February 24. While we’re there, we’ll give you all a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood, as well as bring you a history on Disney’s relationship with Oscar.

Also, we’ll be highlighting many of films that have been nominated for Oscars this year…all of which are animated! We hope to speak to the filmmakers themselves to get a closer look at why these films/shorts were so successful.

So save the date, folks! DisneyExaminer will go into Academy Awards mode next week beginning February 19, so be sure to join us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, and Instagram for some awesome stories and sneak peeks at this year’s Academy Awards!

We’ve also set up a hub page that combines all our social feeds into one which can be found at HERE (bookmark it!).

In the meantime, they all deserve our recognition too, so give it up for the following Oscar-nominated Disney films and people, DE!
