ANIMATED SHORT:  Hair Love?!  (it seems to have the buzz here...)

LIVE ACTION SHORT:  The Neighbor's Window (many are predicting Brotherhood, but I hear TNW is better)

DOCUMENTARY SHORT:  Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (It's the front-runner, and with that title, I can't imagine that being misplaced confidence.)
