2017 Annie Awards.

                                                                 

You might have not realized this because you were too busy setting up your house for a Super Bowl party, but last Saturday (and early part of Sunday), The Los Angeles Branch of the International Animated Film Society (ASIFA Hollywood) held the 44th Annie Awards.  Now, the ceremony was a bit of a mess, but an entertaining mess.  There were several odd moments, like a winner actually dropping and breaking an Annie and and translator who was hard-of-hearing.  I am sure I have mentioned that for three years in a row they gave the presenter the wrong envelope.  After two years of them NOT doing it, I thought that they’d finally gotten organized and that we wouldn’t see that again...Well, I was wrong.  It happened again this year.  This time it took three envelopes to find the correct one for the category they were presenting.  Who is organizing the envelopes?  My room is organized better than that!

 

Lego Batman made an appearance.  I would like to point out that Lego Batman is my most anticipated movie of this year.  Oh, and as for the in memoriam tribute, I have ranted about this so many times, but basically, what they did was that they have a nice background with words going across the screen.  I find this very disrespectful to the people who have died in the last year.  And  I Find myself getting more irritated because 2016 was a really bad year of celebrity deaths.  Anyways, I wonder if they put the envelope guy in charge of the in memoriam segment. Well, let’s get to the winners!

Best Animated Feature

Zootopia won and secured it’s place as a lock for the Oscars.

The Red Turtle won meaning that IF an Independent movie could win the Oscar this year, it would be this one….but it won’t happen
