It’s more than mere flag-waving when I say that Canada deserves to win the Oscar for Best Animated Short this year. Toronto and Vancouver cinemas are screening all five nominated shorts and live-action shorts in separate programs. (Documentary shorts may follow soon.) Canada’s latest Oscar for Best Animated Short was in 2006 for The Danish Poet by Torill Kove. Oscar-nominated animated and live-action shorts will screen at the Lightbox in Toronto, and the Vancity in Vancouver, beginning Feb. 10.
