For this award the Academy did something it has never done for the Best Picture award or for any other reward: make distinctions by genre. For the first five years of the award, separate awards were given out for Comedy and Novelty.

Films must be shorter than 40 minutes long. Since a rule change in the early 1970s, documentaries are not eligible, which is why there's a separate award for Best Documentary Short Subject. (Prior to that date the list below is filled with quite a few documentary shorts.) Short films are not eligible for any other award. Winners are listed below, as are nominees with TV Tropes work pages.

The Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film has been given out in various forms since 1931.

* The award was first given out at the 5th Academy Awards for films released 1931-32. For this award the Academy did something it has never done for the Best Picture award or for any other reward: make distinctions by genre. For the first five years of the award, separate awards were given out for Comedy and Novelty.
* For the 9th ceremony for films from 1936, the Comedy/Novelty genre was eliminated, but the Academy still managed to expand the category to ''three'' awards: one-reel (~10 min), two-reel (~20 min), and a third award for short films made in color. In 1938, after only two awards, the Color category was discontinued. One-reel and two-reel shorts received separate awards for every ceremony through the 29th Academy Awards for films made in 1956.
* For the 30th Academy Awards in 1957 a single Best Live-Action Short Film category was instituted, and has remained so to this day.

Films must be shorter than 40 minutes long. Documentaries are not eligible (unlike the Best Picture award, which documentaries technically are eligible for). Short films are not eligible for any other award. Winners are listed below, as are nominees with TV Tropes work pages.
