Or Watch Some of This Year’s Nominated Shorts (which don’t usually play during the ceremony)
Here’s a hot tip for you: one of the few categories where the nominations actually match up with the quality of the movies is the Oscar nominated shorts. There are typically no gigantic marketing budgets and influence peddling campaigns for short films, so the ones that get the nod tend to be fantastic. If you live in a city with an art-house cinema, many will do screenings of the nominated shorts back-to-back. Get your butt in a seat. It’s great. You can also watch some of the shorts online.
