The Annie Awards are like the animation industry's Oscar - presented each year by the Los Angeles branch of the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA-Hollywood. Friday was the presentation of the 36th annual awards, and oddly Kung Fu Panda won every category, beating Wall-E at everything.
Hmmm, sketchy. Especially considering everyone whom I know loved Wall-E, and nobody I know even saw Kung Fu Panda.
Also sketchy - who sponsors the awards. Guess which studio is a "Gold Level" sponsor of the awards? Why, DreamWorks Animation, producer Kung Fu Panda.
It's just so sad, really.
