With the news that ASIFA-Hollywood has announced its nominations for the 48th Annual Annie Awards, we want to congratulate all of our talented Animation Guild members who received nominations this year.
“While animation has fared better than much of the entertainment industry, the situation around the pandemic has thrown all of us for a loop,” says Frank Gladstone, the Annies executive producer. “We had no idea what to expect going into award season. To then see a year where we had more submissions than ever before was a huge and most welcome surprise.”
This year’s ceremony will be streamed live, courtesy of Variety on Friday, April 16 at 7 p.m. PST. For more information, go to Annie Awards website.
Following is a list of all nominations.
