Head Over Heels: the fifth nominee for Best Animated Short is a bit rough-looking, but very inventive nevertheless, both visually and (what matters most) story-wise. Enjoy! (Sadly, the video is no longer available.)

Adam and Dog: yet another of the 5 nominees for Best Animated Short. Nice, simple story with good-looking stylized visuals. Enjoy! (Sadly, the viceo is no longer available.)

The Longest Daycare: While I’m not generally a big fan of The Simpsons, this short, also nominated for the Best Animated Short, is clever and funny. Follow this link and enjoy The Simpsons: The Longest Daycare! (This link becomes unavailable every once in a while, so if you have a hard time getting to this short, post a comment and let me know.)

Fresh Guacamole: This inventive short has a nomination for Best Animated Short. While it’s not as touching as the other one I shared recently, still deserves to be seen. Enjoy!

Next stop in the 2012 awards tour is the WGA. It should be noted that I have not actually read the nominees, simply watched their rendition on the screen. (Not all of them, sadly.

Let me start by saying that I’m not a member of SAG (or any other of the organizations I’ll be casting a ballot over time, for that matter), and if I was, I probably would not make my vote public. Sadly, there were a few performances I didn’t have the opportunity to see yet. Looking at the full list of nominees, there’s only one I think doesn’t belong, so this is a strong group. With that introduction out of the […]
