Which Academy Award did the 2001 film Shrek win?

The 2001 film Shrek won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

At the 74th Academy Awards, Shrek became the first winner in the Best Animated Feature category. The award was newly established for films released in 2001, and Shrek competed against Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and Monsters, Inc.

The victory marked an important moment for DreamWorks Animation and for computer-animated feature films. Shrek combined fairy-tale parody, pop-culture humor, and a nontraditional romantic story, helping animation appeal to both children and adults.

The film also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, but it did not win that category. Its Oscar success is therefore distinct from its nominations for screenplay and from later awards received by other entries in the franchise.
