Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Blue Eye Samurai both won big at the 51st Annie Awards. The sequel to Into the Spider-Verse took seven awards, including Best Feature and Music. Netflix’s Edo-period revenge piece won six which included Best Character Animation TV/Series and Best FX. Nimona went into the night with the most nominations (nine total), but only won two. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 won Best Character Animation - Live Action, because the Annies recognizes that CGI is still animation (which is a conversation those alleged “live-action remakes” isn’t ready for). For those looking to the Annies for their Oscars betting pool, Academy Award-nominated short “WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko” won Best Short. And of the five films nominated for Best Animated Feature Film, only one left the Annies without hardware: Pixar’s Elemental. The full list of 2024 Annie Award winners is below.
