Review: Below are three links to pages on the Shorts HD page highlighting the upcoming theatrical release of the Academy’s 15 short films nominated this year. The trailers are for each individual film, hence the links. Not all films are represented and most of the trailers are not very exciting. Some just feature small segments of the shorts in question, others feature people talking about the shorts themselves, and the rest are traditional trailers that feature lots of scenes from the films. These are the best ones to watch.

Oscar Prospects:

Gee, I think all of these short films could be nominated for Oscars. They are? Well, don’t I look foolish. All sarcasm aside, this is really about finding a winner and seeing all the shorts might help one figure that out.
