The annual Annie Awards, conducted through animation guild ASIFA-Hollywood, honors achievements in animated film. Devout followers may remember several months ago when Disney-Pixar announced they would not be submitting their films for competition consideration in the Annies. You can read my column on that story here.
"Toy Story 3" nevertheless earned three nominations including Best Picture without an official submission for consideration, but Dreamworks' "How to Train Your Dragon" towers over the competition with a stunning 15 nods, including ones in Best Feature, Direction, Writing and Voice Acting. While the Annies have dozens of categories spanning a wide variety of animated fields, you can catch the nods for the major film categories after the jump.
