Thomas,
My suggestion is for you to contact the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences directly.
Now, the 2007 Oscar nominees haven't been announced, yet. The announcement will take place in Jan. 08.

Hello,
Out North has been working with Apollo Cinema (www.apollocinema.com) for many years to screen Oscar nominateed shorts and short docs. http://www.apollocinema.com
I just found out today that Apollo Cinema is not handling distribution for any Oscar nominateed films; shorts, docs or otherwise.
So I went in search of a new vendor and/or a list of the short, super shorts, and short doc nominees so I could start to inquire into how to create a screening.
Could you please help me in some way. Possibly directing me to an official listing of the shorts, animation, and documentaries.
The Oscar screenings have been a big hit and I would hate to lose them.
Thank you,
Thomas Higgins
