WINNER: Logorama

 

Nominee: French Roast

 

Nominee: Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty

 

Nominee: La dama y la muerte (The Lady and The Reaper)

 

Nominee: Wallace and Gromit in A Matter of Loaf and Death

 

It’s no surprise that Pixar’s UP won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, but there isn’t usually a great deal of fuss around the Best Animated Shorts. Here are the 4 nominees and overall winner. Although Logorama is very clever, after the initial novelty of seeing the world made out of corporate logos, the story doesn’t grab you as much as it could have and consequently the story could have been shorter. I thought A Matter of Loaf and Death should have won and there was unfortunately no sign of Alma which is one of the best short films of the year. It must have been overlooked by the voting panel and should have at least been given a nomination.
