Live Action Shorts
Out of 76 pictures, 10 have moved to what could be called the semi-final round before between three and five are selected as nominees for the "Live Action Short Film" category at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
The next step is for The Short Films and Feature Animation Branch Reviewing Committee, which looked at all 76 movies during special screenings in New York and LA, to have their branches in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco hold their screenings. That will happen in January 2011, with the nominees to be named January 25th, with the other Academy Awards nominations at 5:30 AM. Here are the films:
Ana's Playground, Eric D. Howell, director (StoryForge, LLC)Academy On Twitter

After this blogger's badgering last year, AMPAS is finally on Twitter! Hooray! The Academy is at @TheAcademy and needs more followers! As of this writing it has just 2,607 Twitter followers. This is where stars like with massive Twitter followers and who should be named hosts should chip in, like Ellen DeGeneres @TheEllenShow and Lady Gaga @ladygaga, as well as the Oscar Hosts Anne Hathaway @hathaway_anne and Janes Franco, who needs a new Twitter page.
