2026 Oscar Shorts

from Uncertain Age Hosted by Uncertain Age

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye dish about the surprises, snubs, and standout moments of the 2026 Academy Awards fresh from watching the year’s Oscar-nominated live-action short films. From the delightfully prim absurdity of Jane Austen’s Period Drama to the eyebrow-raising intimacy of Two People Exchanging Saliva, we dive into the strange, funny, and sometimes baffling world of short-form cinema: and debate what it all says about storytelling, taste, and the Oscars themselves.
