Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Academy Award shortlists
per #NEWS, specifically, ''"While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion... routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."'' Shortlists precede nominations, so they make up a kind of pre-qualifying round. From what I can tell, shortlists are reported in news articles with no real commentary since the real contest is among those who become the nominees. There could be instances where a widely-expected film does not get nominated, but these can be reported on individual articles. It does not warrant comprehensive lists like this
