That is an interesting question, but I believe that distribution through the Academy would only be possible if it were conducted like a festival, unfortunately it is not, it's simply an awards ceremony. There are some festivals that create cool complations that can be sold to the public, like RES for example, but with the Academy and some of the elite festivals, it would open up a whole new can of worms.

I would suggest contacting the American Cinematheque to find out how you might obtain a copy of those short films. Certainly, as an exhibitor, they should be able to put you in contact with the people supplying them with the material. I think at this point, with them just finishing up that show, it's the best time. They might have been taking DVD orders at the show, my advice would be to get in touch with them ASAP.
