Annie Awards 2005 - Nominations announced

[on:]

The Annie Award nominees have been announced.

If you don't know, the Annies are like the Oscars for animation.

The ones I happened to notice (i.e., the ones my bloated ego actually cares about who wins) were:

-Dan Riba got nominated for Best Directing in an Animated Television Production for the Justice League Unlimited episode "Clash"

-3 nominations for the Kim Possible crew, all for work done on Kim Possible: So the Drama.

Congratulations to all the nominees!

Miyazaki Vs. Burton!?

That's just cruel to me.  You can't ask me to choose.

Good to see noms for Corpse Bride and Resident Evil 4.  Can't say I've seen much of that other stuff.
