The 2016 Annie Awards


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!
