Oscar-nominated short films in iTunes Store

There are two Oscar award categories with films that almost no one ever sees, and those are the live action and animated short films. Unfortunately, these films usually never make it past film festival circuits and don't receive wide distribution, and typically they are welcomed with a big "huh?" when they pop up during the Academy Awards ceremony. Anyway, this year's short film nominees are available for purchase in the iTunes Store, along with previous winners and nominees. Priced at $1.99 each, the videos are not much of a big investment and might be worth the price of admission, just to get a feel for what a Oscar-nominated short film looks like. The curious can scope them out here (warning: iTunes link).

See? Now I just don't understand why this content shouldn't be made available on all stores! Is it technical issues? Allow people from other stores to buy these items on the US store, then... I don't know, it's not up to me to figure out the technicalities, but I want to BUY these. I want to GIVE them my money and they're ignoring me. Bad move.

I wanted to check out the West Bank Story short.
DVD is over $20. So I got it for 2 bucks from iTunes. Not bad!

An excellent idea for sure! I know I always wanted to be able to see these films but never got the chance.

Of course, since I live in Canada I still won't get that chance (damn iTunes Canada not having anything good) but still a great idea!
