The 2026 Oscar® Nominated Short Films: Animation and Live Action

The DFT’s most popular annual program brings together all of this year’s nominees in both the short animation and short live-action categories into one spectacularly entertaining event. Experiencing the Oscar® Shorts on the big screen is an astonishing reminder of how cinema can tell boldly imagined stories through the unbridled creativity of emerging filmmakers. Advance ticket purchase guarantees admission. Remaining seats are available at the door beginning one hour before each performance.
The Oscar® Shorts program runs approximately three hours, including a brief intermission between the animation and live-action categories.
