Heh, I posted about this in the Oscar Noms thread! But thanks for the new thread and the info and linkage.
Seriously, there is some incredible work done in the shorts every year. You get to see people play with their medium before they get big. Last year's winning animated short
Ryan was, literally, my favorite film of the entire year. Last year's winning life-action short (Lisa and Chris have also seen it) still makes me queasy.
This is an outing of quality entertainment (that is sure to appease some of you who have been complaining about big dumb films or remakes.) Pease join us!
