\"OSCAR_SHORTS_2015_Poster_1500px_high\"<\/a>Say what you will about the Oscars \u2014 the politics, the obsession with celebrity, and so on \u2014 but one of the things I like about them is how they can shed a light on films that normally wouldn\u2019t get a lot of attention.<\/p>\n

Case in point: the short-film categories. Five animated films, five documentaries and five dramatic films are nominated in those categories every year, and over the past decade, thanks to ShortsHD<\/a>, these films have been made available to the public via streaming online and screenings at theatres around the continent.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s nominees will start making the rounds on January 30, three weeks before the winners are announced February 22 \u2014 and you can watch trailers for all of \u2019em below the jump.<\/p>\n

First, the dramatic live-action shorts:<\/p>\n
