Probably posted here before, but I feel lucky.
It seems Miyazaki wasn't supposed to direct Ghibli's new movie, but it seems it'll be otherwise. This movie is the adaptation of British writer Diana Wynne Jones' novel Howl's flying castle and it'll be out on summer 2004. Wynne Jones' homepage for more details...
Himawari chan ain't she cute?

So if Spirited Away gets the Oscar, I wonder if Disney will be quick to release this movie widely to theaters.

I predict it will have little effect on Disney's "sleepiness level" in regards to their own properties. It would take dramatic buzz independent of buzz instigated by Disney. Then Disney might react to that buzz. Probably most of the "buzz" would be from people who are already pretty big Hayao/ Japanese animation fans. It would probably take buzz outside this demographic for Disney to really react. Disney will probably just do a reprint that says "Academy award nominee/winner" on the package, and mention it in advertisements.
They still might not even make a big deal out of it, because it will mean their own homegrown film didn't win the award that year on their own turf.
