Have you ever tried to lose your virginity at 15 only to come up embarrassingly empty? If your answer was yes, get in line, bub! We’ve all been there: which is what makes the Oscar-nominated short “My Year of Dicks” so relatable.
The beautifully-animated short, created by Sara Gunnarsdottir and Pamela Ribon, is based on a memoir by Ribon about desperately trying to lose her V card as a teenager in Houston in 1991. But that’s not why people are talking about it.
The short’s title was so funny it made Riz Ahmed chortle.

Last year was the first time in 10 years that The Walt Disney Company wasn’t nominated for both an Animated Feature and Animated Short Oscar. This year, Disney is again nominated in both categories with ‘Turning Red’ and ‘My Year of Dicks.’ pic.twitter.com/CE5m54rW7R
