The June Foray Award was presented to Jeanette Bonds, writer, independent animator, and co-founder and director of GLAS Animation. The Ub Iwerks Award was presented to Jim Blinn, computer scientist who first became known for his early work in computer animation, and as a graphics expert at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), particularly on the animation for the Voyager project.

Watching Klaus win every category it was nominated for was super gratifying after completely falling in love with it the moment I watched it

[SonicFanDU]

So I watched Klaus after it won all the awards & it was a masterpiece delivering a strong message & character development, if not the best animated Christmas film ever made.
Disappointed it didn’t win the Golden Globe & Oscars.

[darkchibi]

2:26:21 At least KyoAni is honored though it would have bee nice to show off some of their work.

[dudazanatta]

I personally love this award show The Annis is a bright light for shows especially now these days ( I think Richard the voices them should’ve won best voice acting for A theatrical feature when I mean theatrical I mean Netflix)

[igglybuffcute]

Sarah Stiles must win the awards of voice acting

[annafowdy]

As much as I love The Hidden World, I'm more than happy to see Klaus win every category it was nominated in.

[waltersalmonscartooncrosso]

My favorites of 2019 Invader Zim 2:32:53 and Okkos In 3:05:43 😁😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏🙏

[ToonyMeg]

Honestly I'm kinda salty that Richard Horvitz didn't win Best Voice Acting in a Feature, he put a lot into his performance as Zim and it sucks to not see him recognised for it </3 But congrats to Josh Gad anyways c:

[SonicFanDU]

Congrats Netflix, you really dominate the Annie Awards this year beating Disney, DreamWorks, & GKIDS!

[martinmoore]

(2:33:30)

I'm surprised that Olaf won the award for voice acting in animated feature film.

Congratulations, Olaf.

Even the happy snowman deserve the award.

[YamiSpyroX]

Anyone else besides me triggered that Primal didn't get nominated for 1 single thing?
Because I'm sure am! Also I just wanted something Japanese to

[leesamhargreaves]

I fell asleep during the discourses, but i'm so happy that Klaus won all the nominations 💛

[alestoryboards]

Klaus was winning everything! Congrats

[knightofanguish]

Very interesting turn of events no doubt. Some of course was iffy for me but they well deserved regardless. Great list of nominees and winners!

[austinbludau]

Love, Death, and Robots got snubbed for TV/Media Children
