Oscar Buzz

Yo, Check out AWN.com Oscar shout out to Pat Smith:

"There are other animation superstars that have new films, which can’t be overlooked as well. Oscar-nominee Bill Plympton has his new short, The Fan and the Flower. Koji Yamamura received an Oscar nod for his film, Mt. Head, and his Old Crocodile, a rendition of a Japanese folk story, puts him in the race again. Don Hertzfeldt earned a past nomination for his hilarious short Rejected, but only time will tell if Academy members will accept his epic short, The Meaning of Life. Patrick Smith is a well-respected animator with a distinctive style, who might land his first ticket to the dance with Handshake."
