followed that up with the live action shorts, which are always a heavy affair. thankfully the absurd black comedy of I’M NOT A ROBOT serves as an antidote. down to 7, single digits!
3 documentary shorts down:
- I AM READY, WARDEN. can’t put my finger on why, but this felt insincere somehow.
- INCIDENT might be a stretch to classify as a documentary, but it’s terrific, important journalism nonetheless.
- INSTRUMENTS OF A BEATING HEART is charming as hell.
that’s a wrap! i watched 47/50 nominees. the holdouts were:
- THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT
- ELTON JOHN: NEVER TOO LATE
- DEATH BY NUMBERS
the first 2 are nominated only for best song, and i’ve learned my lesson to avoid those. the last isn’t streamable, and life is hard enough right now, you know?
