The Singers (Netflix) and Two People Exchanging Saliva (Canal+/The New Yorker) shared the award for Best Live-Action Short Film at the Oscars. This marked a rare tie at the ceremony, with director Sam A. Davis expressing his gratitude for his team, crew, and cast members. The Singers, which tells the story of an impromptu sing-off in a bar, explores a society where kissing is punishable by death and people pay for things by receiving slaps to the face. Other winners in the category included Meyer Levinson-Blount and Oron Caspi with Butcher’s Stain of Film.
