84th Oscar Live Action Short Updates (1/23/12)

Here are today’s rankings for the 84th Oscar Live Action Short race, with previous ranking shown in parenthesis after each entry. Most of this year’s submissions contain some combination of kids, old people, journeys and bodies of water, so make of that what you will.

Of the 10 films that made the Academy’s short list, I correctly predicted 0 of them (0%), although 4 had shown up on my previous long lists (40%). You can see how I am doing in the other categories on my Track Record Page.
