Pixar Dominate 2016 Annie Award Nominations, 'Anomalisa' Gets Best Animated Feature Nod

December 1st, in some ways, marks the official beginning of awards season, but it’s not just the National Board of Review that are nominating and awarding things today. The Annies, the prizes given out by the International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood, are more or less the top awards in the animation world, and today announced their nominations for their 2016 ceremony, which will be their 43rd.

They have an almost Grammy-level number of categories, a whopping thirty-six (including TV and video games), but on the movie front, it’s Pixar that lead the way (notable, given a historical bias in recent years towards DreamWorks, which briefly saw Disney boycott the ceremony), with fourteen nods for “Inside Out,” and a further nine for “The Good Dinosaur” (DreamWorks’ sole movie this year, “Home,” picked up only a handful).
