Critically Acclaimed Network

They run, they jump, they swim and play! They row and go on trips! But the thing that lasts forever... are our dear 98TH ANNUAL OSCAR-NOMINATED SHORT FILMS!

Yes, Bibbs and Witney are back with their yearly look at all 15 of this year's Academy Awards nominees, for BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT, BEST LIVE-ACTION SHORT and BEST ANIMATED SHORT!

It's a cavalcade of impressive - and brief! - motion pictures about hard-hitting social issues, dystopian and 19th century social taboos, love and death and also a bunch of donkeys!

Find out all about this year's nominees and impress all your friends who watch the Oscars, but don't watch the shorts!
