The Academy Awards are upon us, and you still have a bit of time to catch up on the nominated films...but not a lot. Theater-to-streaming windows are shorter than ever, which makes catching the nominees easier than ever, but ever-expanding runtimes (the average length of this year’s Best Picture nominees is a butt-numbing 139 minutes) can make it hard to squeeze them all in.
So why not give up and watch some award-worthy animated shorts instead?
I’m taking this more efficient tack, and watching award-winning animated shorts from years and decades past to steer myself into the Oscar mood. It’s approximately as emotionally satisfying and far more efficient. This year’s nominees are also worth checking out, but only a couple of them are readily available for streaming (Affairs of the Art, above, is on YouTube; Round Robin is on Netflix). Older winners are easier to find. Here are 15 of the best, representing a variety of styles and tones.
