You've got a few right already! I went to see the live action shorts yesterday and was really impressed with An Irish Goodbye. It literally could have been stretched to a feature but played so well as a short.

And is it just me, but was introducing a commercial for a Disney movie from the Oscar's stage kind of crass?
I felt that too. Then remembered Disney owns ABC. Part of the game I guess...
