I loved this article--it was really entertaining. I think all your picks are right on the money. However, I do think Raju is a terrific contender for Best Short. It's a beautiful film!! For anyone who still needs to see it, I actually found it on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/mov...
I'd actually disagree with you about live-action short, I found Raju to be the standout, it went up on iTunes earlier this week for anyone interested in checking it out http://itunes.apple.com/ca/mov...
The Academy certainly went with much higher brow nominees this year which I think will lose them a large portion of their young audience. After doing better at being in touch with the public the past two years, these stiff nominees just fall flat. I usually have something in common with the choice but not this year- if the contenders seem stuffy to you, check out my own Top 10 Movie Picks of 2011 at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot... where you won’t see a single of the Academy’s nominees for Best Picture but you will get some movie artwork I drew up as well as the reviews!
