>>89664294
The saddest thing aside from the sudden onset of his autism is him breaking up with his girlfriend.
Does this count as a Disney win?
>>89664350

His girlfriend breaking up with him, rather.

Why didn't SU get any nominations? it had some pretty wicked songs.
>sing was nominated
>Outstanding Achievement, Directing in an Animated Feature Production
Hans Zimmer (BWOOM), Richard Harvey and Camille - The Little Prince - Netflix and On Animation Studios
>>89665202
the annies have never given anything to steven universe.
i guess CN doesnt pay them enough
it's sort of weird knowing that all of these famous people are like a ten minute's walk away
>>89665202
Steven Universe sucks, but it's the easiest to follow, most serious show on Cartoon Network so /co/ likes it.
>>89665202
>>>/trash/
GO HOME FAGGOT
>>89665216
it was music,not directing
>>89665241
"i dont like show,therefore it sucks"
>>89665202
It's only gotten like a few nominations. I remember Jail Break was up for the main TV award last year.
CURRENT STATS:
DISNEY: 5 (1 for Zootopia, Moana, Dr. Strange, Piper and Mickey Mouse each)
LAIKA: 1 (Kubo)
DREAMWORKS: 1 (Trollhunters)
PEARL: 1
LITTLE PRINCE: 1
>>89665230
Adventure Time is there.
>>89665241
>>89665252
I don't care if you ain't a fan, but you can't deny the songs are fucking great.
>>89665254
whoops, my bad.first time doing something like this.
>Outstanding Achievement, Character Design in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production
Victor Maldonado, Alfredo Torres and Jules Rigolle - DreamWorks Trollhunters - Episode: Win, Lose or Draal - DreamWorks Animation Television
>>89665261
add another one for Dreamworks
>>89665191
I know, right? It alone was worth the theatre ticketI may have a headcanon of Piper taking Hermit Crab on a flight when they're big enough to do so, save me from the diabetes
>>89665202
I think the company itself sends in series/episodes for consideration for awards. It's possible CN didn't even send SU in as a possibility.
Troll hunters was alright
Not boring but not that amazing either
>>89665263
for what ep is AT nominated?
LOFTISSSSS
>Outstanding Achievement, Character Design in an Animated Feature Production
Cory Loftis - Zootopia - Walt Disney Animation StudiosHell was the cheering for Trolls so loud for?
>>89665292
"Bad Jubies" for Direction, Production Design, and Production for Children
>>89665322
>>89665338
Is Loftis /ourguy/?
>>89665339
that episode was awful.they ONLY nominated it for the stop motion,which was ok at best.
clearly only the networks chose the episodes,and i guess CN doesnt see SU as award material for whatever reason.
/trash/ can attest to the fact that Zootopia had great character design
It's all they talk about!
>they do it for free
>>89665338
Most of the audience is people from the industry. Dreamworks has 2 platinum sponsors so they have 60+ (30 x 2 VIP tickets) staff in the audience plus any regular admission tickets.
>>89665389
I actually just watched Zootopia today. It's a great film.Kubo is a tad bit better tho
Rocking the purple velvet suit, I approve.
>>89665371
Yeah, pretty much. I saw Nick submitted Trans Dimensional Turtles for TMNT this year, no wonder the show didn't get more nominations. This season may have been bad, but there's definitely better than that!
Getting sick of how these companies deal with their breadwinners, desu.
>Ub Iwerks Award
Google Spotlight’s Virtual Reality Platform
for technical advancement in the art of animation
Another one for Pearl, basically
UPDATE STATS:
DISNEY: 6 (2 for Zootopia, 1 for Pearl, Moana, Dr. Strange, and Mickey Mouse each

IT'S KOBE TIME

Damn effing right they win another one! Well deserved!
Hopefully they get at least one more (how many more are they nominated for?)
>>89666153
Legitimately surprised it wasn't Zootopia
Character animation was one of their selling points
KEVIN CONROY~
HE SAID THE THING!
Lego Batman and Conroy in quick succession? This year ain't so bad.
>Outstanding Achievement, Production Design in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production
Tuna Bora - Pearl - Google Spotlight Stories/Evil Eye Pictures
SHE BROKE IT!

ANOTHER WIN FOR KUBO!
Laika might actually have a chance at the Oscars this year!
Disney didn't bribe enough people apparently
>Titmouse is nominated in this award category
Please, Annies
>Best Animated Special Production
Pear Cider and Cigarettes - Massive Swerve Studios and Passion Pictures Animation
Run, girl, ruuuuun
>>89666717
I would agree, but Rob deserved it.
>>89666745
Nice.
>>89666717
>>89666745
>>89666765
Yeah, I actually forgot Pear Cider and Cigarettes was in this category. Sorry Titmouse, you were outdone by a mile this year.
Two for Passion. Nice.
>Best Animated TV/Broadcast Commercial
Loteria 'Night Shift' - Passion Pictures Ltd
https://vimeo.com/153780454
>That tooth drilling commercial
FUCK, I hate dentists. That was not fun.
Cineplex makes cute commerical shorts though. Glad they were in there.
>Winsor McCay Award
Dale Baer, Caroline Leaf and Mamoru Oshii/a/
for their career contributions to the art of animation

KUBO: 3
TROLLHUNTERS: 3

>>89667036
What's wrong, tally-keeper?
>>89667036
I like this format better, because that puts Kubo properly on top of all the major animated pictures.
It's the little things.
>General Manager of Stupid Buddy Studios
>>89666921
>Caroline Leaf
I'll forever have respect for animators who work wet
NFB!
>>89667443
/co/ is not worthy
>>89664170
All awards are financed by the industries they represent, though. Who else is gonna?
Did I miss them shitting on Trump
The sheer variety in the three styles of animation being celebrated with this award is EXACTLY why I love this medium so much.
Screw anyone who says 'cartoons are for kids'. Animation is ART, and art can be appreciated by anyone at any age.
For some reason, I thought Oshii directed Jin-Roh.
TRANSLATION PROBLEMS
GOMENASAI
Oh god
that was cute
Sank yew so much

>Somber piano to Spongebob theme.
I wonder if tom kenny will do better joke than the bear rape one from last year
>>89667873

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!
He looks good for 87.
Tom Kenny is my favorite part of the Annies
The scene that celebrates itself.
Great... Now I wish they made LA LA LAND with James Hong

He wrote the original comics and the film.
>Outstanding Achievement, Voice Acting in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production
Carlos Alazraqui as the voice of Ponce de León - The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show - Episode: Ponce de León - DreamWorks Animation Television

A TIE!!!!!
An all-Disney tie.
Auli'i Cravalho as the voice of Moana - Moana - Walt Disney Animation Studios
Jason Bateman as the voice of Nick Wilde - Zootopia - Walt Disney Animation Studios
Also that speech was very cute
>"You don't get to cut me off at my mom bit."
YEAH, YOU GO GIRL.
...And shut up Tom. Her name is fine.
>gravity falls nominated
wew
>Outstanding Achievement, Writing in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production
Lizzie Molyneux and Wendy Molyneux - Bob's Burgers - Episode: The Hormone-iums - Bento Box Entertainment
>>89668340
Voice-acting wasn't the strongest element of Kubo.
Bateman absolutely deserved the win. Moana's VA was pretty good too.
>Outstanding Achievement, Writing in an Animated Feature Production
Jared Bush and Phil Johnston - Zootopia - Walt Disney Animation Studios
Amazing how a movie rewritten a year before release turned out so well
No BoJack for the writing category?
>>89668605
Was nominated but then it turns out the wrong nominees were announced.
>>89668441
Good for them... Writing has always been Bob's Burgers' strong suit

I still feel like Kubo has a chance at the Oscar.
>>89669598
I'm perfectly happy with this result...
Had a feeling it would be a two horse race between Kubo and Zootopia
Wow! Great DISNEY's winning great streak is literally unstoppable now!

Cute! CUTE!
>>89670912
The Annies haven't had my respect since DreamWorks bribed the judges and had Kung Fu Panda beat Wall-E. Hell, I don't think Wall-E won a single award that year.
Kung Fu Panda was good, but shit. DreamWorks was a platinum sponsor that year and they won everything.
>>89671242
Dreamworks won by giving literally all their employees Annie memberships and having them vote for their shit
>>89670912
insert reference to /co/ userbase changing over the years here
>>89671242
I don't respect them but it's fun to watch.
The awards I really ares about are festivals.
Man, this thread died fast.
>>89671091
I just saw that and holy shit, it's unbelievable how cute she is!
>>89671242
that's shitty of them to influence the award outcomes, but personally I found the fat panda way more appealing than the hordes of fat spacemen waddling about.
