# Oscar de melhor curta-metragem em live action

O Oscar de melhor curta-metragem em live action passou a ser concedido na trigésima cerimônia em 1957. O prêmio é o resultado da fusão das categorias Oscar de melhor curta-metragem em live-action: 1 bobina e Oscar de melhor curta-metragem em live-action: 2 bobinas, que foram concedidos entre 1936 e 1956.
A expressão Live Action designa o curta-metragem (de ficção ou documentário) feito não com as técnicas da animação, mas, sim, utilizando seres vivos e/ou inanimados. Rubens Ewald Filho chama essa categoria de curta dramático, enquanto Fernando Albagli prefere curta (ao vivo).
