Feature films have been delayed, movie theaters have closed, and festivals have resorted to running their events 100% online. The bright side however is that stop motion animation short film productions have been very strong since they usually only require a couple of artists to complete. The Academy Awards have pushed back the dates to April 25<sup>th<\/sup> 2021, but this has not deterred the every growing array of short films being potentially nominated for next year\u2019s run. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know how difficult it can be for the Academy audiences to vote on anything that isn\u2019t Disney or has some celebrity tied to it. However, the requirements to get nominated are not so mystical as to predict who could potentially be in the running for Best Animated Short Film. To be even considered for nomination the film must meet one of 3 criteria. It must run in a specified film festival and win, have been shown in a public theater, or have won a Student Academy Award. \u00a0Right now, there are three magnificent short stop motion films that are potentials to be in the running for the 2021 Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though we do not know who will be nominated to this category, we do have some early predictions as to who could potentially make the short list.\u00a0 Here are the trailers for our picks:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first film to point out is Soko Hara\u2019s <em>Just A Guy<\/em> which is a film about the obsession and attraction to serial killers. In this case the relationship of women with serial murderer and rapist Richard Ramirez. The film is dark and captivating while keeping with an abstract clay animation motif.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#039;Just a Guy&#039; trailer (Shoko Hara, Germany)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TIeK0Wsjjig?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next film is by Kangmin Kim\u2019s <em>KKUM <\/em>which won at Ottawa Int\u2019l Animation Festival. The film is a tribute to Kim\u2019s mother and her prescient dreams. This film is completely a Styrofoam production in which the characters, props, and stage are all cut and shaped pieces of Styrofoam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/374597072?color=a2a2a2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/374597072\">\uafc8 KKUM \u2013 trailer<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/kangmin\">KANG MIN KIM<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The third film to make of note is <em>I, Barnab\u00e9 <\/em>by Jean-Francois L\u00e9vesque.
