The list of nominees for the 46th Annual Annie Awards has been announced and Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet earned the most nominations. The 46th Annual Annie Awards recognize the best in animated films, television shows, commercials, and student films released in 2018.
Winners in 36 categories will be announced on Saturday, February 2, 2019 at a ceremony held at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
The Annie Awards are voted on by the ASIFA-Hollywood. Commenting on this year’s selection of nominees, ASIFA-Hollywood Executive Director Frank Gladstone said, “From over 1,600 submissions, our committees have made a great selection of nominees this year. A wide choice of animation techniques, a broad selection of subjects, increasingly creative designs and an encompassing representation of films from other countries and various points of view is going to make this year’s Annie Awards an ever more diversified event. Membership voting begins January 1. Looking at the slate of nominees, I think this year’s decisions will be extraordinary.”
Special juried awards will be given to “Academy Award-winning director, animator and art director, Ralph Eggleston; Frank Braxton (posthumously), the first African-American animator, animation director and guild president; and casting director, voice director and voice actress Andrea Romano.” Animation veteran Adam Burke has posthumously earned the June Foray Award for his “significant and benevolent impact on the animation community.”
