Lastly, here are links to the Oscar-nominated short films \u2013 documentary, live action, and animated \u2013 with links to their websites or IMDB entries if there are no film websites.<\/p>\n
Among Oscar fans and critics, shorts often get short-shrift (sorry) because few know they exist, or where they can be seen or bought.<\/p>\n
Most of the documentary shorts stem from HBO and might be in rotation right now on the cable station. The live action shorts are even harder to come by beyond IMDB listings, though maybe some of the filmmakers have them up on YouTube. (If so, the links below will be amended.)<\/p>\n
Fans of animated shorts will have better luck since Nick Parks\u2019 \u201cA Matter of Loaf and Death\u201d came out on DVD last fall, and both \u201cFrench Toast\u201d and \u201cGranny O\u2019Grimm\u2019s Sleeping Beauty\u201d can be viewed as streaming videos at each film\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
For fans wanting to check out prior nominated and award-winning shorts, there\u2019s Magnolia\u2019s three Oscar Shorts DVDs, each available separately, covering films from the years 2005<\/a>, 2006, and 2007.<\/p>\n I think all that\u2019s left are the Razzies<\/a>, which should end this wave of awards for a while.<\/p>\n 2009 82nd<\/sup> Oscar Nominated Short Films<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em> Best live action short film<\/strong> Best animated short film<\/strong> – MRH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" List of the 2009 Oscar nominated short documentary, live action short film, and short animated film with links to websites and viewing availability…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8nuyW-21W","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7808"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7808\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
