The International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood, announced the nominations for the 43rd Annual Annie Awards recognizing the year’s best in animation. The winners will be announced on Feb. 6 at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
The Annie Awards cover 36 categories and include best animated feature, best animated feature-independent (new this year), special productions, commercials, short subjects, student films and outstanding individual achievements, as well as the honorary juried awards.
This year’s best animated feature nominations include: Anomalisa (Paramount Pictures), Inside Out (Pixar Animation Studios), Shaun the Sheep The Movie (Aardman Animations), The Good Dinosaur (Pixar Animation Studios), and The Peanuts Movie (Blue Sky Studios, Twentieth Century Fox Animation).
“This year we introduced an important new category – best feature-independent,” said ASIFA-Hollywood president, Jerry Beck. “We will now recognize not only features in wide release, but also the independent animators, international studios, anime and special productions that might not otherwise get the attention they deserve.”
The inaugural best animated feature-independent nominations include: Boy And the World (Filme de Papel), Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet (Ventanarosa), The Boy and The Beast (Studio Chizu), and When Marnie Was There (Studio Ghibli).
The juried awards honoring career achievement and exceptional contributions to animation will also be presented. Three Winsor McCay recipients have been selected by the ASIFA-Hollywood board of directors – Joe Ranft, Phil Roman and Isao Takahata for their career contributions to the art of animation; and the June Foray recipient – Don Hahn for his benevolent or charitable impact on the art and industry of animation.
The nominees are:
