2006 Live Action Academy Award Nominated Shorts

Pretty good mix this year:

An LDS-esque missionary who is stuck in a sticky situation over his indiscretion with a married woman.

A busy business man whose dad locks himself in a cupboard at the old folks' home.

A father and son who are abandoned by their wife/mom and who invite her mom home with them to cook, clean and take care of them...

A great story of a small, smart girl in an Senegalese village who wants to improve her life and the lives of those around her.

West Bank Story. My least favorite. Warring falafel huts. Snapping. Singing. It won the Oscar. Fuckin' figures.
