Is there a reason why Blair Brown, who played a comedic character, is listed but other Orange actresses aren’t a voting option? None of Selenis Leyva, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Jessica Pimentel, Laura Prepon, Natasha Lyonne, Yael Stone, Taryn Manning, among others.

The Story Behind Orange Is the New Black’s Torture Scene and the Deleted Moment That Alters Piscatella’s Story
http://www.vulture.com/2017/06/orange-is-the-new-black-torture-piscatella-deleted-scene.html
I’m most unsure about doc short: Lanzmann:Shoa, A Girl in the River, or Chau. Body Team 12 and A Girl in the River would compete for the same audience, and I believe the latter is more emotional and invokes more sympathy. Chau is very “baity” and inspiring; disbaled Asian child who dreams to be an artist. And Shoa would theoretically appeal to most Academy members who decide to vote in the category.
If one also takes into account members who’d vote without watching the shorts and likely vote per the title that appeals most, those three still have the most advantange, with Shoa and A Girl in the River benefiting most.
I think any short but Ave Maria can win live action, but Shok, Stutterer and Day One have the strongest chance. Shok feels like the most exhaustive or “substantial” perhaps, but Stutterer is likely the baitiest.
Animation is between Bear Story, WoT, and Sanjay, but I wouldn’t discount Cosmos. Sanjay wouldn’t be considered the best by the vast majority of voters, but it ticks the race/minority box. Bear and Cosmos appeal to the emotions, and Bear has arguably the best animation. World of Tomorrow has the prestige and it’s the most amibitous or forward-thinking, maybe “arty”, and because of that I don’t think it would win with a popular vote. It would win if it impresses most voters and they prefer it over the affecting stories. Think of it as the Mad Max or the Carol (per the general perception) of shorts.
ReplyI would laugh so much and squeal if the winner was Carol – which I find the most deserving here actually.
This is obviosuly between Seale and Lubezki (with Hateful Eight as a spoiler). I’m not enamoured with Lubezki’s work here, so I’m not rooting for him. I think Mad Max is deserving, but I really don’t mind any of the nominees winning (i’d rank Sicario 5th).
