Oscars 2018: Predicting All The Nominees

By James Hunt / January 11, 2019

14. Live-Action/Documentary/Animated Short Film

The Short film categories are often among the hardest to predict, because - with a few exceptions - they're usually highly-niche films that not a lot of people will have seen. That means Disney and Pixar tend to do well in the Animated category, with the latter firmly in the mix this year. In the live-action and documentary categories, meanwhile, there's an interesting mix of countries and topics represented. Each has been whittled down to a shortlist of ten, with five nominees in each.

Live Action Nominees:

DeKalb Elementary

My Nephew Emmett

Rise Of A Star

The Silent Child

Watu Wote/All Of Us

Animated Nominees:

Cradle

Dear Basketball

In A Heartbeat

Lou

Negative Space

Documentary Nominees:

116 Cameras
