Nominated for Best Live Action Short 
Jane Austen's Period Drama - Kanopy - a very funny short that people online have likened to a better class of SNL skit. I think that's setting the bar too low but I don't like SNL.
Miss Estrognia Talbot (Julia Aks) is in the middle of being proposed to by handsome bachelor Mr. Dickley (Ta'imua) when she unexpectedly gets her period. Confused and alarmed, Dickley rushes her home where she argues with her sisters over how much she should educate him on women's biology.
Honestly, it's 2026. If we cannot as a society be over the "ew, girls have cooties" factor about periods, what are we even doing?
The Singers - Netflix- almost the polar opposite of Jane Austen, this doesn't have a single woman on screen and is four times as emotional.
A bar full of men is energized by a late-night bet: whoever is the best singer wins a free beer and $100.
Absolutely magical performances.
Two People Exchanging Saliva - YouTube - what if Carol had been directed by Yorgos Lanthimos?
A shopgirl (Luàna Bajrami) and a wealthy housewife (Zar Amir Ebrahimi) try to suppress their desire in a world that criminalizes kissing as disgusting.
Only the French would think that the fastest way to show a dystopia is to make kissing illegal. The garlic gum is going to give me nightmares, though.
A Friend of Dorothy - Kanopy - And we're back to being wholesome and cute.
A teen (Alistair Nwachukwu) trying to retrieve an errant soccer ball from a garden befriends an elderly lady named Dorothy (Miriam Margolyes) who encourages him to pursue his dreams. All of them.
So sweet.
