2007 Annie TV Nominations
International Animated Film Society,ASIFA-Hollywood Pick Best Toons
Dec 4, 2007
The 35th Annual Annie Awards aren't just about the animated movies, they also give nods to television productions as well.
Unlike the movie categories, where Disney/Pixar has thirteen nominations for Ratatouille, no one TV show is a clear winner as far as sheer number of nods. That may mean a lot more different productions adding "Annie winner" to their plaudits after February 8, 2008, which is when the awards get handed out.
Animation production company Shadowmachine has a total of 6 nominations for its shows, sharing the love equally between Moral Orel and Robot Chicken with 3 nominations each, including a Best Director nom for Seth ("Scott Evil") Green. Nickelodeon's El Tigre snagged four nominations, including a certain win in Character Design in an Animated Television Production for Jorge R. Gutierrez.
