BURBANK, Calif. --

The International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood, announced nominations for its 45th Annual Annie Awards™ recognizing the year’s best in the field of animation. Leading the way with 13 nominations was Pixar Animation Studios’ Coco. Scoring 10 nods was Cartoon Saloon/Aircraft Pictures/Melusine Productions’ The Breadwinner.

Coco is one of five films in the running for Best Animated Feature, the other nominees being Captain Underpants (DreamWorks Animation), Cars 3 (Pixar Animation Studios), Despicable Me 3 (Illumination) and The Boss Baby (DreamWorks Animation).

Nominated for Best Animated Feature-Independent, spotlighting features with a much smaller distribution footprint than major studio releases, are: The Breadwinner, In This Corner of the World (Taro Maki, GENCO, Inc. and Masao Maruyama, Mappa Co., Ltd), Loving Vincent (BreakThru Films, Production Company Trademark Films, Co-Production Company), Napping Princess (Nippon TV) and The Big Bad Fox & Other Tales (Folivari/Panique!/Studiocanal).

“The Annies continue to grow in the number of submissions again this year, pointing out animation’s diversity in both style and storytelling, not only from our local community, but from the industry worldwide,“ said Frank Gladstone, ASIFA’s executive director. “That the Annies are now an established and important part of the ‘award season’ is enormously gratifying for all of us who tell our stories frame by frame.”

The Annie Awards™ cover 36 categories and include Best Animated Feature, Best Animated Feature-Independent, Special Productions, Commercials, Short Subjects, Student Films and Outstanding Individual Achievements, as well as the honorary Juried Awards. The winners will be announced at a black tie ceremony on Saturday, February 3, 2018 at UCLA’s Royce Hall. 

“No doubt about it, our nominees represent the best work in the field,” said ASIFA-Hollywood president, Jerry Beck. “I am particularly proud of the diversity of voices, techniques and artistic styles displayed in the feature films, television programming, independent shorts, commercials and gaming we screened this year. The animation community embodies the finest qualities of the creative arts–and our Annie nominees this year certainly bare that out.”

Juried Awards will also be presented honoring career achievement and exceptional contributions to animation. Three Winsor McCay recipients have been selected by the ASIFA-Hollywood Board of Directors: British character animator, James Baxter; SpongeBob SquarePants creator, Stephen Hillenburg; and the Canadian animation duo, Wendy Tilby & Amanda Forbis, for their career contributions to the art of animation; The Ub Iwerks Award will be presented to TVPaint for its versatile software for 2D animation. Cuphead, the 1930s inspired wonder-game from StudioMDHR will receive this year’s Special Achievement Award; and the June Foray Award will be presented to animation historian Didier Ghez for his significant and benevolent or charitable impact on the art and industry of animation. The Certificate of Merit award will be presented to David Nimitz, devoted friend and caretaker of veteran voice actress and ASIFA-Hollywood & Annie Award™ pioneer, June Foray, who passed away in July at the age of 99.
