If you’re looking to get a jump on whatever Oscar pool you might be participating in (we would suggest this one!) several websites are showcasing the shorts portion of the Academy Awards list before the films are set to get in front of a wider audience. ComingSoon.net and The Wrap synopsize the nominees and gauge their chances. You can catch the films themselves as ShortsHD and Magnolia Pictures are set to roll them out in theatres, on TV video on demand services, and online via iTunes.
