BEST SHORT: ANIMATED / LIVE ACTION / DOCUMENTARY
TJ: So, let’s start with the shorts. I’ve only seen one. But I’m picking it to win Best Animated Short. Piperwas adorable.
David: Piper should be the leading candidate. It has also been awhile since Pixar has one in Best Animated Short – a lot of upsets.
TJ: And with Pixar not having a nomination in the feature category, this could be a decent secondary prize for the studio.
David: Poor Pixar. I hope the billions help. I have not seen nor will see any short for this year. So I’ll take your word.
TJ: It was good. I’ll watch them before the ceremony, I hope. I’m taking Joe’s Violin and Ennemis Interieurs for Doc Short and Live Action Short respectively. Those two categories seem a lot closer than Animated Short.
David: I like to go with the saddest sounding ones, not knowing a lot about them. Give me La Femme et la TGV (film), Blind Vasha(animated) and 4.1 Miles (doc) as some wild cards. Shorts are typically ballot bloodbaths – separating ties and declaring winners
TJ: Nice. I picked Joe’s Violinin hopes that it’s just 5 minutes of my old friend Joe holding a violin. I’d vote for that.
And Then There Were Ten – in which our intrepid hero goes back and expands the Academy Award Best Picture nominations to ten nominations, and goes about filling those hypothetical slots. This time – it’s 2008. Check out the previous entries here.
Since the days of Steamboat Willieto the CGI movies of today, very few films have received top recognition in a Best Picture nomination. But the medium has also changed considerably during this time period. It’s hard to imagine the complicated and super-sad Anomalisaup against the bright songs of The Land Before Time, also super-sad in its own right. There are the children’s singalongs, hand-drawn for Disney from yesteryear, and there are the emotionally-wrought, complex and funny character studies that Pixar makes today for Disney.
