Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Animated Short

The nominees:
French Roast (B+)
A man loses his wallet and needs find a way to pay for his coffee in a French café in this delightful and clever film.
Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty (B+)
The shortest of the five finds a wacky grandmother terrifying her offspring with a humorously warped version of the classic story.
The Lady and the Reaper (B+)
Death and a doctor battle for the soul of an old woman in this visually creative tango of a film.
Logorama (A-)
Craziness erupts in a world of logos in this hilarious and innovative tale of omnipresent brands.
A Matter of Loaf and Death (A-)
Wallace and Gromit may be the latest targets of a murderous killer of bakers in this entertaining film.

Previous winners: Le Maison en Petits Cubes, Peter and the Wolf, The Danish Poet, The Moon and the Sun: An Imagined Conversation, Ryan
Who should win: I loved “Logorama,” but “A Matter of Loaf and Death” was great too
Who will win: While “Logorama” was enormously clever, Wallace and Gromit have competed in this race three times before, and the only time they lost was when their creator Nick Park helmed another film nominated in the same category that year. This year, they’ll earn their fourth trophy in this category for A Matter of Loaf and Death.
