They've just announced the shortlist for Best Animated Short film for this years Oscars and it consists of a bunch of films we haven't heard of and like, 2 that we have.
* "The Cat Piano," Eddie White and Ari Gibson, directors (The People's Republic of Animation)
* "French Roast," Fabrice O. Joubert, director (Pumpkin Factory/Bibo Films)
* "Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty," Nicky Phelan, director, and Darragh O'Connell, producer (Brown Bag Films)
* "The Kinematograph," Tomek Baginski, director-producer (Platige Image)
* "The Lady and the Reaper (La Dama y la Muerte)," Javier Recio Gracia, director (Kandor Graphics and Green Moon)
* "Logorama," Nicolas Schmerkin, producer (Autour de Minuit)
* "A Matter of Loaf and Death," Nick Park, director (Aardman Animations Ltd.)
* "Partly Cloudy," Peter Sohn, director (Pixar Animation Studios)
* "Runaway," Cordell Barker, director (National Film Board of Canada)
* "Variete," Roelof van den Bergh, director (il Luster Productions)
Now assuming that one of these unknown films won't come and snatch away the prize, I'd have to go with Park's "Matter of Loaf and Death" because Wallace and Gromit have won many times in the past before and are bound to do it again. I love Pixar always, and Partly Cloudy is no exception, but I have a special place in my heart for stop motion animation films. I made one of them in my film production class last year.

Forgive the awful quality.
