2024 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Live Action

The 2024 Oscar Nominated Shorts – Live Action, Opens Friday, February 16, 2024. Individual trailers can be viewed here.

“All five nominees are strong, and at least one is an instant classic, destined to be loved and shared for decades to come. The selection is substantial enough that ShortsTV – the company that packages the finalists for theatrical release each year – didn’t need flesh it out with bonus offerings. There’s not a rotten toon in the bunch.” – Variety
