Academy Nominated Shorts

Saw the Academy nominated short films last night at the Academy - a great score since it was overfilled! My votes go to:

Animated: One-Man Band
Backed by Pixar, so it definitely had the resources to be the cleanest animation film... that aside, at 4 minutes this was not only the shortest but the most well-thought out and enjoyable piece. It used music for its storyline - two street performers compete for a small child's last coin. Energetic, fun, and cute.











Live Action: Six Shooter
From the UK, here is a twisting, turning short where everyone just keeps dying. But as an audience member you find yourself cringing at the gruesome deaths for only a split second before laughing... oh that is so wrong. I love it. Witty and funny, and it has a bunny with its head shot off - what more could you want?!
