Today the Academy announced the ten films that will advance in the voting process for the 2012 Oscars for Live Action Short out of the 107 films that qualified in the category. Of the ten I was unable to find anything on only one of them as I have trailers for eight of the others and an image for one more.
Of the bunch Love at First Sight and Sailcloth are sure to gain attention as both star John Hurt and The Shore features Hurt’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy co-star, Ciaran Hinds, Hotel Rwanda helmer Terry George directing.
I didn’t watch the trailers before posting, but the plot for Time Freak sounds a little fun as a neurotic inventor creates a time machine only to get lost trying to make yesterday perfect.
Last year I didn’t watch the animated or live-action shorts, but this year I hope to do that and include them in my final Oscar predictions, though both are categories that are always hard to predict.
So check out the live-action short contenders below and if you missed my post featuring the animated short film contenders you can find that here.
