Oscars: Animated Shorts

Watching the Oscars Sunday night was one of the most pleasurable experiences I can remember of watching the Oscars. Maybe because John Stewart was hosting (and I have a total brain-crush on him) and maybe because I tried to watch most of the movies nominated for Best Picture this year (definitely made it more interesting). Regardless, there are always a lot of categories I don't care about or have never heard of any of the films nominated. One of them is Animated Shorts. I will probably never see these things in their entirety, but here are some really great-looking trailers for two of the nominees. These are really cool:

'I Met the Walrus'


'Even Pigeons Go to Heaven'

Trailers Galore

I love love love movie trailers. They're so perfect and compact. Here's a wonderful page on Apple's trailer site giving all of the trailers for the Academy Awards this weekend:
