This was a strong year for short films. I can tell by the divided results from our Oscar poll that had close battles in both the animated and live action categories. Well, you’ve voted. If it was up to you, the awards would go to A Matter of Loaf and Death and The New Tenants (I chose Logorama and Instead of Abracadabra, so let’s call it a tie). But we don’t hold the little gold men. So, the official winners are…
