    The fact Don Hertzfeldt hasn't ever won even when nominated is a crime.

    The Oscar animation category is also just hell.

      Preach it, comrade. Don Hertzfeldt is one of the most talented living film makers, hands down. The fact that no part of It's Such a Beautiful Day won (and only the first was even nominated) is evidence that the whole contest is bullshit.

        Ayup. Also world of tomorrow part 1 was nominated, also didn't win.

        Meaning of life is one of the most sublime short films ever.

          I like to show "Meaning of Life" in my intro to philosophy class. There's always one student who says something like "that didn't make any sense! It was just weird and pointless" and it's perfect.
