Ice Age received one Academy Award nomination. The 2002 animated feature was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards.
The Best Animated Feature category was comparatively new when Ice Age was released, having been introduced at the 74th Academy Awards for films released in 2001. Ice Age competed against Spirited Away and Lilo & Stitch at the 75th ceremony.
Spirited Away won the award, becoming the first—and, at that ceremony, only—Japanese-produced film to win Best Animated Feature. Ice Age therefore has an Oscar nomination but not an Academy Award win.
People sometimes count other recognition connected with the film’s creators or music, but the film itself received one Academy Award nomination. Its nomination is separate from later awards and nominations earned by other entries in the Ice Age franchise.
