The Academy likes to celebrate issue-based projects in its short categories, though this year's best is an apolitical take on artificial intelligence.

I’m Not a Robot” from writer-director Victoria Warmerdam is a 22-minute Dutch-language film about a music producer who wonders if she might not be human when she keeps failing online Captcha tests meant to prove that users filling out online forms are real people and not spambots.

The Oscar for Best Live Action Short went to Victoria Warmerdam’s darkly comic tale about a woman who fails a series of CAPTCHA tests.
