For
those of you that don't know the International Animated Film Society
(ASIFA-Hollywood) held their 43rd
annual Awards Ceremony last Saturday (at the time I am writing this).
Let's get right to it.
Like
with last year, there was no host (I also should mention that the
ceremony isn't televised – it's webcast) just a bunch of
presenters. Not many though. They had one presenter doing 4-5
awards. The ceremony was not totally disorganized as it was last
year, as it was in years prior. Of course, one thing that they need
to fix is better writers (or better yet, have me host). The “in
memorioum” segment was in middle as usual. One thing that was
weird about it was the announcer, Dina Sherman, was about to
introduce the next presenter and it just skipped to the “in
memorium” segment. Maybe it was a technical glitch or they didn't
inform the presenter about it. “Because that never happens at the
Annies”. This leads me to another issue with the “in memorium”
segment itself. They didn't change anything from last year, just a
nice background with words going down the screen (I could do a better
segment on powerpoint). Let's get on to the winners.
As
predicted here Inside Out swept the awards. Winning
awards like story boarding, directing and best voice acting for
Phyllis Smith. Even though I think Phyllis Smith did a good job, I
personally would haven given the award to Any Poehler, also from
Inside Out.
Boy
and The World won
best
animated feature-independent. If it can keep the momentum going, it
may post a serious threat to inside out
at the Oscars.
Remember
that you only have 17 days to submit a movie for my end of the year
poll.
Goodnight
and Bee Happy!™
