 Carter talks to us about the ten wonderful films nominated for the Live Action and Animated Short Film Academy Awards.

“The fact that dedicated committees of conscientious human beings who know a lot about how movies are made weeded through hundreds and hundreds of submissions and picked their favorites … is something to be grateful for.” – Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com

“See them all … You won’t be sorry.” – Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

“There isn’t a bad film in this bunch …” – Anders Wright, San Diego Union-Tribune
