Oscar Nominated Shorts!
Want to watch some of the Oscar nominated short films? Well, here you go! That's right, here are 5 of them totally free. According to my research, this is the only site on the internet which offers more than one of the Oscar nominated shorts. So be proud! I am embedding the ones I am able to embed, a lot of them you'll just have to follow a link.
The first film, Let's Pollute, I could only find in French, sadly. So you'll have to watch that one in French with no English subtitles. It's supposed to be pretty good but I'm afraid without understanding the majority of it, I cannot really say whether or not I like it.
The second film, The Confession, is about a young Irish man who goes to the confessional to confess a sin. This one has a funny twist at the end but it's relatively predictable and pretty dull as Oscar nominated films go.
The third one was pretty good: Wish 143, about a young man dieing of cancer who's last wish is to get laid. A very interesting request that no one can seem to fulfill, or want to fulfill for that matter. I found the ending to be especially good.
This next one I cannot embed because you need special permission or something like that to watch it if I do embed it so I will just leave a link after the break. Madagascar, a Journey Diary is just what it sounds like, an animated video diary about someone's expedition through Madagascar. The story overall is pretty good but what really strikes me as great is the visual point of view and the animating techniques.
The last one is a bit difficult to show you, I will post links with an explanation of the problems along with the links. The Gruffalo is actually my personal favorite of the 5 I am posting here, it is a fable about a mouse who is able to escape being eaten many times over by telling a very clever lie, all told by a mother squirrel to her two children. Wonderfully narrated by Helena Bonham-Carter and very elegantly animated, a must watch if I do say so myself. Well, that is it for now, I will be posting a whole lot more shorts very soon. I hope you like these!
