The Australian short film, “The Eleven O’Clock” provides the lone comedic entry among this year’s nominees at the Oscars for Best Live Action Short Film. This marks the first nomination for director Derin Seale and writer Josh Lawson.
The film opens on psychiatrist, Dr. Terry Phillips (Lawson), sitting in his office when a woman enters. She tells him her name is Linda and she is a temp for the normal receptionist who is out for the morning. He tells her that’s fine and asks her who his 11:00 appointment is with. She replies it’s a new patient who suffers from delusions of grandeur and believes himself to be a psychiatrist. Soon after, a man walks into the office saying he is Dr. Nathan Klein (Damon Herriman), apologizing for his lateness and that he is ready for their appointment.

Three of the most difficult categories to call every year at the Oscars are those of the short films. They lack precursor prizes and, in many cases, visibility. If you are not able to see these films before the Academy Awards on March 4, don’t worry: we’ve got you covered. Below is our take on the five nominees for Best Live Action Short.
A screening committee drawn from the Short Films and Feature Animation Branch members winnowed a record field of 165 entries for Best Live Action Short down to 10 semi-finalists. All members of the branch could attend December screenings in Los Angeles, London, New York and San Francisco and then cast preferential ballots for the five nominees.

Chicago – From deafness to religious conflict to one of the most vicious events in American history, the Oscar nominated Live Action short films fulfill the drama, emotions and even laughs in a compact form. The 2018 Live Action Shorts nominees are being shown in one program, locally at the Landmark Century Centre Cinema in Chicago. Click here for more information. The Animations Shorts are also being shown.
Rating: 5.0/5.0
The caliber of all the live action shorts – which of course means a narrative with actors, as opposed to animation or documentary – are at a top drawer level, both as stories and films. There is even a surreal comedy (“The Eleven O’Clock”) that delivers hilarity and thoughtfulness in 13 scant minutes. There is not one to recommend over the other, only a journey of cinematic purpose in each film, delivered with a creativeness that becomes emotional. Even the film that is a plea...

Called ‘Flying Objects’, the spot also uses slow motion footage of loose objects in a car hitting the dashboard.
