Movie Review ~ The 2021 Oscar Nominated Short Films – Live Action
BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT In the past few years, this category has been growing slightly more uneven but these five nominees were unusually off-kilter this year, only one stuck out like a sore thumb as truly bad, though.

Movie Review ~ The 2021 Oscar Nominated Short Films – Documentary

Note: Spirit Awards
No question that Sunday, February 24 is Hollywood’s big night with The Academy Awards being presented but in the last few years I’ve enjoyed tuning in to the Spirit Awards. A much less showy affair (it’s held in a tent and guests/presenters always poke fun at how freezing it is), it fits well with the indie film…
