Annie Awards

E desta vez Wall-E e Waltz With Bashir não foram os grandes Vencedores... tornando-se mesmo nos grandes derrotados da noite, não vencendo nenhum dos galardões para que estavam nomeados... O grande vencedor foi Kung-Fu Panda, vencendo 10 prémios...
Este foi sem dúvida uma entrega de prémios que fugiu à regra, pois até hoje, Wall-E e Waltz With Bashir tinham "limpado" tudo o que havia para limpar, destronando toda a concorrência onde se incluem o vencedor da noite Kung-Fu Panda... o que me permite alguma desconfiança sobre a "isenção" destes galardões...
Deixo-vos aqui a lista completa das nomeações e vencedores:
