For the 19th consecutive year, ShortsTV and Magnolia Pictures present the Oscar-Nominated Short Films. With all three categories offered – Animated, Live Action and Documentary – this is your annual chance to predict the winners (and have the edge in your Oscar pool)! A perennial hit with audiences around the country and the world, don’t miss this year’s selection of shorts.
A grieving rideshare driver, a man with x-ray vision, and a 14-year-old boy on a quest for freedom are just a few of the unconventional heroes in these Oscar-nominated shorts. Also, from Wes Anderson comes an adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved story about a rich man who sets out to master an extraordinary skill to cheat at gambling.
It’s a particular challenge to make a serious emotional impact on a smaller canvas, but the 2024 Oscar-nominated live-action shorts take on the weightiest of dramatic themes, all of them revolving around questions of life and death.
