Friday’s openings redux: Oscar dons its shorts

And the word is in: Along with the movies already announced, the two programs of Oscar-nominated shorts — animated and live-action — will open on Friday.

Oscar-nominated animation shorts: "Dear Basketball," "Garden Party," "Lou," "Negative Space," "Revolting Rhymes" (plus three other films to round out to an estimated 83-minute-long program).

Oscar-nominated live-action shorts: ""DeKalb Elementary," "The Eleven O'Clock," "My Nephew Emmett," "The Silent Child," "Watu Wote/All of Us" (estimated 93-minute-long program).

Also, for those who missed out seeing all the Oscar-nominated feature-film performances, the Magic Lantern on Friday will open second-run screenings of "Call My by Your Name" and "I, Tonya." The Lantern continues "Lady Bird," "The Shape of Water" and "Three Billboard Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

Note: The trailer embedded below includes the Oscar-nominated documentary shorts, which will NOT be opening.
