"Annie Awards" Discussion Thread

Still playing catch up, but anyway:

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Nimona Dominates 2024 Annie Awards Nominations"​

"The nominations for this year’s Annie Awards are out, and if there’s one clear winner, it’s the pink-haired, shapeshifting troublemaker Nimona, of the movie with the same name. The flick got nine nominations, more than anything else on the list.

And to think there was a point when no one was sure if this film would even come out. Originally produced by Blue Sky, the picture was canned by Disney after the buyout of 20th Century from Fox. Fortunately Netflix stepped in to finish it up, and…here we are. Hopefully Coyote Vs Acme will be in this same position come 2025."

For the complete list of nominations in each category, you can read the full article here.

The actual awards ceremony is February 17th. Anyone here follow the Annie Awards?!?

"Blue Eye Samurai, Spider-Verse Dominate 51st Annie Awards"​

"After Netflix’s Nimona received the most nominations for this year’s Annie Awards, you might’ve expected a clean sweep for the film, but it only won two of those trophies last night. Instead the lead victor was Sony’s Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse with seven wins, including Best Direction, Best Music, and the most prized of all, Best Feature. Nimona‘s two were for Best Writing and Best Voice Acting (Chloe Grace Moretz specifically).

There was also a clear television favorite with Netflix’s Blue Eye Samurai nabbing six awards including Best Writing, Best Editing, Best Effects and Best TV Show Period (Mature Category). Separate awards for Best Show went to Hilda in the Children’s category and Ghee Happy in the Preschool category. Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire won Best Limited Series."

Did anyone here expect "Across the Spider-Verse" to win the most awards?

I'm very happy that Blue Eye Samurai won six Annie Awards on Saturday as I found the show to be one of the best animated shows in recent years.
