An Oscar winner for best short (from the director of _The Devil Wears Prada_), and yet it seems never to have been distributed in physical form, or digital for that matter. I saw it on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Va3ieBdQjaU and you can too if you don’t mind its lousy image resolution. You probably should if you want to see a fun, quick, yet still somewhat sophisticated short. Too good for TV it seems, as it was originally a pilot that the networks passed on. I think it easily could have been a show on HBO; it reminds me of a bit of _Dream On_ if that show had a female protagonist, or _Sex in the City_ if that show didn’t suck. It deserved better then, and I think it deserves better now.
