The night of the 2021 Oscars is certainly the most anticipated event of the year for the film industry. The delivery of the gold statuettes is scheduled for April 25th even if the program is not yet defined and in any case it will be an edition with reduced attendance and remote video links.
Who will win the Oscar for the categories dedicated to short films and first of all what is a short film?
A short film is defined as an original film that has a duration of 40 minutes or less, including all credits.
