Short films aren't normally released widely on DVD, but you can get the one that I'm assuming will win, since it was released with a number of other short films in one volume.

ALL OF IT), I actually thoroughly enjoyed Transformers, and if I were 16 again, I would have pictures of Shia LeBeouf plastered all over my wall. There were some damn funny parts.

PS- Yes, strangers who are entirely unaffiliated with the Academy are allowed to write in votes for their favorite films featuring giant fighting robots. PPS- Did anyone see at the end of that movie? They were doing <b>it</b> on top of Bumblebee!! WTF Susan, these are all good predictions; however you should wait until all my write-in ballots for Transformers get counted for Best Picture…

"On January 21, 2008, however, the [There Will Be Blood] score was declared ineligible for an Academy Award nomination under a rule that prohibited 'scores diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music.'"

I thought I was reading things wrong. And it's not like I was a particular evangelist for that movie or for Radiohead. Also, Sari's Mother will win because it's about a MOTHER caring for a CHILD who is DYING of AIDS in IRAQ. And they're probably POOR. The more social injustices you can combine into one single movie, the more oscar votes you get these days.

I was cranky and my allergies were bothering me, and I couldn't bring myself to do research on foreign short films. I left some stuff out, obviously.
