‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ Sweeps With Seven Wins at Annie Awards
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” has been named the best animated feature of 2018 at the 46th Annual Annie Awards, sweeping all seven categories in which it was nominated and giving the film a prize that has predicted the Oscar animated-feature winner more than 70 percent of the time. The awards were handed out at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus on Saturday night by the Los Angeles branch of the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA-Hollywood. In addition to winning Best Animated Feature, “Spider-Man” picked up awards for its directing, writing, character animation, character design, production design and editorial. “Incredibles 2” came into the show with the most nominations, 11, but only won two, while “Ralph Breaks the Internet” had 10 nominations and received one award. Also Read: Stan Lee Was 'Really Happy' With His 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' Cameo, Directors Say The seven wins for “Spider-Man” fell short of the record 11 Annie wins for Pixar’s “Coco” last year, but they were a strong indication of the momentum that the film has acquired since its release in December. It is the first film from Sony Pictures Animation to win the top award at the Annies, which over the years has been dominated by Disney/Pixar (eight wins for Disney, nine for Pixar) and DreamWorks Animation (four wins). “Mary Poppins Returns,” a live-action film with an extended animated sequence, won two Annie Awards. Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” received one award, for Bryan Cranston’s voice work. In the television categories, “Hilda” was the big winner with three, while “BoJack Horseman” and “Disney’s Mickey Mouse” received two each.

In the short subject category, the prize went to “Weekends,” the Annecy audience award winner which is also nominated for the Best Animated Short Oscar and was featured at TheWrap’s ShortList Film Festival. Four of this year’s five Oscar nominees for feature animation – “Incredibles 2,” “Isle of Dogs,” “Ralph Breaks the Internet” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” – were also nominated in the top Annies category. The fifth Oscar nominee, “Mirai,” was the winner in the Annies’ Best Animated Independent Feature category.
