Where the hell is Mary and Max? By far the best animation movie of 2009. Philip Seymour Hoffman got robbed too. His voice acting was amazing….

The Secret of Kells? No Ponyo or 9 in the top slot and no voice work recognition for anything from Fantastic Mr Fox. And absolutely NOTHING for Christmas Carol?
That voice acting category seems downright random to me.

I agree about “Mary and Max”
What a great movie and I had never heard about it until last week. I think if it somehow could make it into the top 5 for the Oscars, it could pull an upset and win.

ponyo out of the best feature list is a joke, miyazaki’s movie outclasses anything else

They REALLY loved Up, Princess and the Frog, and Coraline, huh?

While I worship Miyazaki, I felt Ponyo was a bit off-kilter, like parts of the story were left on the editing room floor. Still, even a weak Miyazaki is better than many of the other nominees.
And I too wish Mary and Max received multiple noms. A voice showcase, no doubt.

Coraline leads the noms with 10. I wonder if it could pull an upset??
*hoping and praying*

So odd that no one from Up was nominated for voice acting.

Up isn’t too far behind with 9 nominations and BOTH films appeared in 8 categories with Up trumping Coraline by getting a Writing nod.
BTW I *love* both films, so neither here nor there.

Coraline was very effective. I thought it was a cool movie.
Robert says:

Eeeek. It is very upsetting to not see Ponyo or Mary and Max get very much recognition. Especially the latter. How did Astro Boy get a writing nod and not Mary and Max??? Yikes!

So much for some people’s argument that Fantastic Mr. Fox won’t be nominated at the Oscars because Wes Anderson is an outsider that isn’t going to be embraced by the animators.

Where is Ed Asner?

Looks like they’re trying to pretend the stink of last year’s rigged ceremony never happened by nominating DW for less this year. Yet still they get it wrong by completely ignoring Mary and Max and still having MvA on there for anything when it deserves to be nowhere near any award for animated anything.

How did Fantastic Mr. Fox miss out on Production Design? Seems wrong.

Where is Wally Wolodarsky for “Mr. Fox”?
Where is “Mary and Max”?
ASTRO BOY?!?!
|:-{ The Annies have made me disgruntled. Most disgruntled, indeed. Mainly for the complete snub of “Mary and Max.”

The Annie’s are garbage. When I looked at the imdb page for last year’s awards I thought they must have been wrong. Kung Fu Panda won in every category. The voice category is always the most embarrassing, and this year is no exception.
I loved loved loved Mary & Max and would be blissfully happy if it snagged an Oscar nominations (the director won for his short Harvey Krumpet, so you never know). I guess we’ll see what happens.

The same people who chose Panda over WALL-E. Couldn’t care less.

Ummmmmmm… how the fuck does “Fantastic Mr. Fox” miss in Production Design, Score (Desplat anyone?!?) and Voice Acting? This is dumb.
And no Ed Asner? Forget this, for real.

for a minute I thought it read “The Secret of Kelis”.

Seriously? Mary and Max hands down has the best writing and voice acting of any Animated Feature of the year. Grr…

Mary and Max getting zero nominations is actually kind of offensive.
Alice says:

The Secret of Kells! My god, I can’t believe it was nominated but I guess that’s what happens when people actually watch the films they vote for because that movie has some stunning animation – even if holistically, it’s not the best piece of cinema listed on there. Still! I’m excited it was recognised even if it might have been at the expense of Mary and Max which also had a great aesthetic.

I thought Up was just OK. A little overrated if you ask me.

Do you tards even know how this list is generated? Educate yourself before you grip that this year (or last year) was rigged.

The Annies are a poor Oscar indicator and a poorer class of industry awards. They are a wannabe awards body that has a very long way to go to fix their balloting and nomination process before gaining any respectability.
Literally anybody can purchase a ballot and vote for the Annie Awards. Look it up on their website. So the competing studios buy as many ballots as they can to stuff the ballot box.
It is a company set up to generate profits from ballots, not reward the best animation.
