So what the flying heck are the Annie Awards, and how the flying heck can it be in its 34th year and nobody has ever bothered to tell me about it? Well apparently the Annie Awards is a Hollywood movie awards show for animation. Film, TV, games, even commercials, if you can believe it. These guys have been around since 1972, apparently, which I’m sure is news to just about everyone in Hollywood — until they get nominated, that is. So who is up for this year’s, er, Annies (??) Read on.

The biggies are, of course, the Best Animated Feature category. (Meanwhile, you can find out more here)

Best Animated Feature

* Cars – Pixar Animation Studios
* Happy Feet – Warner Bros. Pictures presents in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Kennedy Miller Production in association with Animal Logic Film
* Monster House – Columbia Pictures Presents an ImageMovers/Amblin Production
* Open Season – Sony Pictures Animation/Columbia Pictures
* Over The Hedge – DreamWorks Animation

Then there’s the one for the TV people:

Best Animated Television Production

* Charlie and Lola – Tiger Aspect Productions
* Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends – Cartoon Network Studios
* King of the Hill – Twentieth Century Fox TV
* The Fairly OddParents – Nickelodeon

What the hell is “Charlie and Lola”? But I digress. Find the rest of the nominees for the 34th Annual Annie Awards at their official site here.
