I have made a new sort of movie tradition for myself. For years I have gone to some sort of marathon of Academy Award nominated movies. Four years ago I went to a marathon of best picture nominees. This was perfect because I hadn’t seen a majority of the nominated films. However, this year I managed to see all of the Best Picture nominees (an great feat!), so no need to binge watch those nominees.
So this year, for the third year in a row, I took in the Oscar nominated shorts. This is an incredibly fun experience because these are films you can’t otherwise see unless you have magic powers.
Drum roll please… my predictions!

Side note, the Academy Awards website now makes intelligent guessing easier for the films in the more obscure categories. You can watch the trailers right on the website for things like foreign language film, documentar, and documentary short.
