‘The Wild Robot' Dominates Annie Awards for Animation
'The Wild Robot' was the big winner at the Annie Awards on Saturday evening, winning nine trophies at the annual ceremony that honors the best in animation as chosen by the Los Angeles branch of the International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood. The DreamWorks Animation and Universal release dominated a ceremony that was at one point interrupted by a fire alarm that caused Royce Hall to be evacuated. It won Best Feature and also took awards for direction, FX, character animation, character design, music, production design, voice acting and editorial. It went into the show with 10 nominations and won in every category in which it was nominated, with its only loss coming in the voice-acting category, where one 'The Wild Robot' actor, Kit Connor, lost to another, Lupita Nyong'o. While the Annies have a long history of sweeps, which critics have at times attributed to block voting, the nine wins for 'The Wild Robot' are the most since Pixar's 'Coco' won a record 11 in 2018. 'Flow' won two awards, one for Best Feature – Independent and one for writing, a category in which 'The Wild Robot' was not nominated. 'Despicable Me 4' won the only other film award, for storyboarding. 'Inside Out 2' and 'Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,' both sequels to films that had won 10 Annies, went into the show with seven nominations each and went home with no wins. In the 23 years since the Academy established the Best Animated Feature category, the Annie winner has gone on to win the Oscar 15 times, but only twice in the last five years. In the TV/Media categories, Netflix's 'Arcane' extended its reign as the most successful television production in Annies history. It won seven awards, including for direction, music, character animation and storyboarding. Multiple awards were also won by 'Orion and the Dark,' 'Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur' and 'Dream Productions.' The Dutch short film 'Wander to Wonder' won in the Best Short Subject category, where the other nominees included two shorts that are nominated alongside it for the animated-short Oscar, 'Beautiful Men' and 'In the Shadow of the Cypress.' The ceremony took place on the UCLA campus in West Los Angeles. About halfway through the show, Royce Hall was evacuated after a fire alarm went off, but restarted after a brief break.
