Academy to Present 77th Academy Award®-Nominated
Beverly Hills, CA—The 10 short films that received Oscar® nominations this week in the Animated and Live Action Short Film categories for the 77th Academy Awards® will screen at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Tuesday, February 22, at 7:30 p.m. in the Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
This marks the first time that the five nominated films in each of these two categories will be shown by the Academy prior to the Oscar telecast. In previous years a screening of the short film nominees took place in the months following the Academy Awards.
"Traditionally short films aren't distributed as widely as feature-length films so we want to give the public this opportunity to see these nominees before the telecast. Oscar Week provides a great time-frame for the Academy to present this program," said Ric Robertson, the Academy's executive administrator.
Following is the schedule for the evening:
Part One—Animation
"Birthday Boy" ( Sejong Park and Andrew Gregory, Australia )
"Gopher Broke" (Jeff Fowler and Tim Miller, U.S.A. )
"Guard Dog" (Bill Plympton, U.S.A. )
"Lorenzo" (Mike Gabriel and Baker Bloodworth, U.S.A. )
"Ryan" (Chris Landreth, Canada )
Part Two—Live Action
"Everything in This Country Must" (Gary McKendry, U.S.A. )
"Little Terrorist" ( Ashvin Kumar, United Kingdom )
"7:35 in the Morning ( 7:35 de la Mañana)" (Nacho Vigalondo, Spain )
"Two Cars, One Night" (Taila Waititi and Ainsley Gardiner, New Zealand )
"Wasp" (Andrea Arnold, United Kingdom )
The public in New York City also will have the opportunity to view the short film nominees when they screen twice on Saturday, February 19, first at 12:30 p.m. and again at 4 p.m. in the Academy Theater at Lighthouse International in Manhattan.
Screenings of the short film nominees will also take place during Oscar Week in Washington D.C. at the National Archives. Additional information about these events, including dates, times and locations, can be found on the Academy's website at www.oscars.org/events/shorts/index.html.
