We all know how last year turned out<\/a> at the Annie Awards<\/a>, but let’s start with a blank slate as 2009 nominations are announced.<\/p>\n

Up is a strong contender this year with 9 individual nominations in 8 different categories including Best Animated Feature. When it comes to the Annies, I can see why Up might have appealed more than WALL<\/span>•E considering the former’s more "cartoon-y" style. <\/p>\n

Also in the running for top honors are Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Princess and the Frog, and The Secret of Kells. Seems to me like we’ll be seeing the identical Best Animated Feature list (sans one) during the Oscars. It’s worth noting that Pixar’s Bill Reeves will be presented the Ub Iwerks award for developing particle simulation at the upcoming ceremony. Partly Cloudy, Dug’s Special Mission and the Cars Toons were sadly absent. <\/p>\n

Leading the pack this year is Laika’s Coraline with 10 nominations followed closely by Up and The Princess and the Frog. As a studio, Walt Disney Animation received 17 nominations (including Prep & Landing) and as a company, Disney received 26 — leading by a landslide! Can anyone say Disney domination?<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of nominees from Pixar:
\nBest Animated Feature:<\/strong> Up
\nBest Animated Effects:<\/strong> Eric Froemling for Up
\nBest Character Animation:<\/strong> Daniel Nguyen for Up
\nBest Character Design:<\/strong> Daniel Lopez-Munoz for Up
\nBest Directing Feature Production:<\/strong> Pete Docter for Up
\nBest Music Feature Production:<\/strong> Michael Giacchino for Up
\nBest Storyboarding Feature Production:<\/strong> Ronnie del Carmen for Up
\nBest Storyboarding Feature Production:<\/strong> Peter Sohn for Up
\nBest Writing Feature Production:<\/strong> Pete Docter, Bob Peterson, and Tom McCarthy for Up<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the talented team at Pixar and everyone who was nominated! Check out all of the (really!) deserving nominations for this year’s Annie Awards presented by ASIFA<\/span> Hollywood here<\/a>. Winners will be announced February 6th, 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
