Our “Road to the Oscars” series is in full swing, ready to help you with your Oscar pools. This week, we looked at some of the more obscure categories like Best Live Action Short and Best Foreign Film, as well as the more mainstream Best Animated Film category. Adam Spunberg takes a look back.

The second in our “Road to the Oscars” series focuses on Best Animated Short. Four of the five nominees in this category are European including a “Wallace and Gromit” short, “Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty” and “The Lady and the Reaper.” Kit Bowen takes a closer look.
