Annies not big on 'Beowulf,' ga-ga for the 'Rat'...
The Annie nominations landed today. Variety has the story.
"Ratatouille," of course, leads the pack with 13 nominations. Can anything stop it from winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film?
The nominees for Best Animated Film were "Bee Movie," "Persepolis," Ratatouille," "The Simpsons Movie" and "Surf's Up." Take away "Bee Movie" and "Surf's Up," and I think you're looking at Oscar's final three.
"Beowulf," which a number of people were hoping would land a berth with the Academy, landed a single nomination with the Annies: Best Production Design. I guess they weren't too keen on "performance capture" as a brand of animation.
Personally, I was stoked to see, further down the list, that "Ren & Stimpy" creator John Kricfaulski was singled out as a Winsor McCay Award winner for career contribution. Joy!
