Probably not, given recent events, but amongst all the Super Bowl hooplah we post it anyway.
DreamWorks Animation’s “How To Train Your Dragon” won top honors as the Best Animated Feature at the 38th Annual Annie Awards on Saturday, February 5 at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
Best Animated Short Subject was presented to Pixar’s ‘Day & Night’; Best Animated Television Commercial to Duck Studios ‘Children’s Medical Center’; Nickelodeon’s ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ was honored as Best Animated Television Production for Children and Playdead’s ‘Limbo’ won Best Animated Video Game. A new category, Character Animation in a Live Action Production was presented to Sony Pictures’ ‘Alice in Wonderland.’
A complete list of the 38th Annual Annie Award winners can be viewed at www.annieawards.org. The Annie Awards ceremony will also be web cast on the Annies website later this month. ...
The Annies, of course, are on the Mouse's Naughty List, so maybe it isn't a surprise that the DreamWorks Animation feature got the nod for Dragon. Forget that I thought the movie was the best animated feature in 2010. My likes and dislikes mean nothing.
Congratulations and best wishes to all the nominees and winners. Awards are wonderful things, especially when you're the one getting them.

I'm just going to pop some popcorn and watch this thread.
Ok, here you go, Bruce:
TS3 didn't need an Annie Award. It'll get the Oscar-and perhaps some other Academy nods, and that's the most important award there is.
But an Annie would imho have really meant something to the crew of Tangled. I absolutely believe that it would have had quite a few names among the nominees and winners. For Disney to refuse to submit possible candidates for the categories of individual achievement meant all the people in L.A. had to sit it out in a year where their work really shone. Not cool.
I agree that there probably would have been quite a few nominees in individual categories from the Tangled crew, and it's a shame those people didn't get a chance to be recognized. All to make some petty point. Definitely not cool.
I think Disney ought to take the higher road and participate in the Annies.
I also think Dreamworks ought to grow up and quit playing the games that they do.
You mean not give their employees memberships? because that's the only game they "play". You got other specifics, name them.
I think The WDC should give all their employees memberships to asifa, too. Level the "playing" field instead of leveling it.
PA's and secretaries go office to office to make sure people voted.

That's a flat out fallacy.
"PA's and secretaries go office to office to make sure people voted. "
hahaha, wow.
I'm an animator at DW's that worked on How To Train Your Dragon and forgot to vote in time. The only mention of it I was the email from the Annies. I actually didn't hear anyone talk about it at the studio until the following Monday after voting had closed and that was just a small comment from a peer at lunch. I assure you no one's going around to make sure people vote.
Ha. I was joking about the secretary thing. Deadpan deliveries don't translate well online
And I assumed it was absurd enough to be taken as a joke...sorry if it riled you up unnecessarily
I heard that every employee must hand over their ballot to Jeffrey. Which he then fills out with ink made from puppy blood and liquified thousand-dollar-bills.
Yeah, thats what I meant.
