LINCOLN SQUARE — Many an Oscar pool has been won, or lost, in the short film categories — it's hard to pick a winner among nominees scarcely anyone has seen and even fewer people are talking about.

Get an edge this year by checking out the nominated Animated Shorts and Live Action Shorts at the Davis Theater.

"Short" films must have an individual running time of under 40 minutes, according to Oscar submission rules.

The five animated shorts are screening once a day, with a total running time under 90 minutes. The five live action shorts are screening twice daily, with a total running time of just over two hours. Click here for ticket information.

All of the shorts are unrated. The animated movies have been approved for children age 8 and up, with one exception. A warning will be displayed prior to this short, in the event parents need to escort youngsters out of the theater. The live action shorts are suitable for age 15 and older.
