The live-action short films and animated short films from this year's Oscars are still working their way through theaters, but if the tour isn't stopping near you or you just don't have time for a trip to the movies, there's another option. All of the Oscar shorts are available on iTunes for $1.99 each.
That's really not a bad deal, considering that you could buy all 10 films for $20 — about what it would cost to see both shorts programs in the theater. And while you'd have to watch on a smaller screen, maybe the chance to make your own move snacks balances it out.
Several past winners — including last year's winning films and nominees — are also available for the same price. I'll tell you, I bought last year's winning animated short, The Danish Poet, a while back, and I still watch it all the time. Not bad for my 2 bucks!

I saw these at IFC in New York before the Oscars and I'm going to be honest with you... some of these are pretty painful... particularly Tonto Woman, At Night (I'm sure some of you will disagree with me on that one), and most of all, My Love. I am a huge movie buff and I appreciate all forms but I cannot believe these are the TOP shorts of this year from all around the world.
