CATEGORY COMMENT: Always difficult to gauge how the revelation of the short film categories will go. In Best Animated Short, the Academy’s announcement has given an uplifting new buzz around “New Moon,” a fine collaboration between recent Emmy winner Colman Domingo (guest actor in a drama for ” Euphoria”) and her husband Raul Domingo. The pair serve as both writers and producers on the project, while Raul also directs alongside Jérémie Balais and Jeffig Le Bars. Colman is the storyteller of Jay Jay and his mother Edie’s journey as their inner dreams are moonlit in their West Philadelphia backyard.

After winning Riz Ahmed’s live action short last year after being nominated for ‘Sound of Metal’ (2020), stars are using the shorter forms of cinema to explore their creativity behind the camera. One of the best Afro-Latinos in the game, Colman Domingo has kept one foot in the director’s chair throughout his career, whether on television with AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead” or more specifically in theater. With over a dozen credits for various plays, “New Moon” could offer the bridge to a new level of achievement for the artist.

But that’s not all about Domingo from the Oscars shortlist, with The Animation Showcase snagging four of 15 spots with “Black Slides”, “The Flying Sailor”, “My Year of Dicks” and “Steakhouse”.

Notable studios and productions are also attracting attention, such as Apple with “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” with the voice talents of Idris Elba and Tom Hollander and BlueTongue Films with “Save Ralph” with the vocals. of Oscar-winner Taika Waititi (“Jojo Rabbit”), George Lopez and Ricky Gervais.
