Oscars 2025 – Live-Action Shorts + the Emotion Mixer

To talk about one of her favorite categories of every Oscar race, this year's five emotional Live-Action Shorts nominees, Elysia brings in Katherine Oktober Matthews, the inventer of a tool called the Emotion Mixer – a framework for breaking down the rich palate of emotional storytelling.

They'll give you the premise of each short and also how it will make you feel, so you can decide which you might want to watch for yourself before the big day – or at least be informed who is in the race for making predictions and rooting for winners!
