The short films are the categories that will make or break your Oscar polls. They're usually the throw away awards that people don't mind if they miss at their parties. However, over the past couple of years, local theaters have been taking a chance on these films by showcasing them the weeks leading up to the awards. Last year I was able to catch the live action shorts. This year we caught the animated shorts. And hopefully next year, catching all three categories will be on the agenda.
I thought Pixar had this award locked down with LA LUNA, which was quite cute. However, the short that stuck with me was the FLYING BOOKS by directors William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg. I loved the heart and message it spoke. Even though I adored it, I wasn't expecting it to win last night, so imagine my shock when it did!
Now it's online for your enjoyment. So please, take the 15 minutes and watch. It'll bring a smile to your face.
