It is good to be alive on a Tuesday morning in January.
Oscar nominations are out! The only one I care about at all this year is Best Animated Short, because this year, a couple of Canadian animatrices made a film which they probably thought was a worthy and valid artistic enterprise, and for all I know personally rewarding, but really when it comes right down to it they made it just for me. I saw "Wild Life" as part of a touring festival of animated shorts and fell in love with it, and have since been begging anyone who might have access to it to let me see it again. Luckily the Academy is infinitely wise and kind (ignore what I might have said before) and it's been nominated, so the NFB has it available to stream on their site (and on YouTube, if you're lucky enough to live north of the border), and – AND – you can buy your very own copy! Which I have done! Because I like to encourage people to make good things! And it would be ungrateful of me not to, considering they made it just for me.

The hard part, now, is waiting till lunch to watch it properly. Nnnnngh!
