Oscar Short Films Swanking - February 2008 - Page 6

I don't want to complicate the situation or anything, but do you guys know that there's going to be a one-time screening of all the shorts next Tuesday night (for $5) that will have discussions with many of the filmmakers?

Info right here.

Hmmm, that's a monkey wrench wrinkle if I ever saw one.

Hey, there's a chance Maciek Szczerbowski will be there? Can we fool Big Dan into coming?

Well, no matter what, I will be going this weekend and I hope very much that some of you will join me. I'd much rather see these before the awards, and the Egyptian program is decidedly after.

I will come up regardless.

The suspense is KILLING ME

Nominated Live action: 4:00PM and 9:15PM
Nominated Animated: 1:45PM and 7:00PM

And I forgot to ask about ticketing.

So it looks like the 4PM, 7PM combo. That means either a "quick for this group" dinner in between, or a late dinner afterwards, yes?

Ghoulish Delight · 02-12-2008, 04:11 PM

Actually, it'll have to be a late dinner. These are long shorts this year with a total running time exceeding 2 hours for the live action nominees alone.

LSPoorEeyorick · 02-12-2008, 04:13 PM

Wow, those are some long shorts!

I'm in for the 4/7 program... (Tom too.)

Ghoulish Delight · 02-12-2008, 04:14 PM

Three of them are more than 30 minutes, one is 14, and I can't find a running time for the 5th.
