Academy Awards, now officially known as the Oscars, are a set of awards given annually for excellence of cinematic achievements by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Several Looney Tunes (and subsequently, Warner Bros.) shorts have earned numerous Oscars for their cartoons, most often for one-shot cartoons. The Academy Awards have been held since 1927.

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).
