>>152579201Im betting a KPDH sweep, im not even a fan but I can tell its a force. At least 5+ if not all ten noms.
>>152579201The Annies are a fucking joke, that hates non-American animation 95% of the time.
>>152579201Oh I thought that I missed it, 7pm which timezone?
>>152579621Pacific.
>>152579694thank you.Over an hour?! I guess I got time to get drunk.
>>152579201Oh damn, that's TONIGHT?
>>152579201>Kpop Demon Hunters wins best picture>Arco wins best indie film
>>152580262There will be boobs, I just know it.
Craig Robinson is on stage.
>>152579201Unfortunately, people don't care enough about cartoons anymore to care about the annies. I remember back when these streams would get a decent amount of actual attention
>>152580633this one might as well be the last one without AI
“A Sparrow’s Song” is the first winner.
ughhh snow bear just reminds me that year that fucking Apple animation (the boy, the horse the fox and whatever the fuck) won everything.
Best Short Subject: “Snow Bear”.
‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ sequel.
hmmmp the whole energy is just depressing
>>152580719Three Celine Dions?
‘Love, Death, and Robots’ get Best Production Design - TV/Media.
Best Production Design - Feature: ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’
Were this awards always this rushed? this will be over in 15 min.
>>152580769They only rented the theater for an hour. Gotta go fast!
>>152580769I don’t know, I’m watching it over shitty data in the Philippines.
>>152580769Last year someone pulled the fire alarm and they had to pause for half an hour. Always been a shitshow.
‘Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical’ won something.
>>152580769Every time there's a wide shot of the audience, most of them just look confused, like they're trying to figure out where they are.
>>152580804At least they used to be a shitshow in a more fun way
Anyone keeping track of the winners?
>>152579201>No Disney TVA shows nominated for this year's editionWhat gives i thought the P&F revival would get a nomination for best music
Sandy Rabens gets the June Foray Award.
>>152580881Ah, that explains everything.
>>152580855It's weird, i thought StuGo would get a nomination but i guess they wanted Win Or Lose to sweep the nominations and awards this year for being Pixar's first and only venture into TV Animation
oh no! frenchs, every award now goes to Expedition 33
‘KPDH’ wins Best Music - Feature, I think.
Best Character Design - TV/Media: ‘Love, Death, and Robots’: “400 Boys”.
>>152579201Im the only one who didn't gave a shit about KPDH, the movie's fine but everyone treats it like the second coming of christ...
Why do these awards love Death, Love and Robots?
Best Character Design - Feature: ‘KPop Demon Hunters’.
>>152581080Yes. You're the only one. You're daddy's special boy.
>>152581086It’s an anthology series.
>>152581094Fixed thought it had a chance lol
>>152581080It’s about fighting and slaying demons. It’s very C. S. Lewis in the thought process.
>>152581080It's definitely the biggest thing since Frozen and really makes that We Don't Talk about Bruno shit feel like a forced meme.
>>152581080no, in case you can't read the room nobody thinks that highly about KPDH, but it made money so it gets to get many awards.
>>152581080It's kinda same Frozen's phenomenon with Elsa and 'Let it Go'.
>>152581121>>152581134Cannot wait to fumble the bag in the sequel like Frozen II
Krong's voice actor in scene
could swear Patrick Warburton made a more prominent character voice than just Kronk
Video game: ‘South of Midnight’.
God, I had forgoten how ugly that Red Hulk was.>>152581225>south of midnight what the fuck is that?
>>152581245A video game.
I gotta say: I think Win or Lose sucks
>>152581245>what the fuck is that?A video game. The gameplay isn't anything special, but the soundtrack is good.
Best Character Animation - TV/Media: ‘Win or Lose’.
>>152581284I hadn't even heard of it before today.
Best Character Animation - Feature: ‘KPop Demon Hunters’.
So far seign Warburton was the only good thing of these awards
>Proud &loudno..way
>Demon Hunters nominated>Demon Hunters winsIt's just that easy.
>Common Side EffectsYes! finally something good... what was the award for?
>>152581472Editing, I think.
>>152581483and movie editing goes for fuckin KPDH of course
>>152579201KPDH is the equivalent of "Expedition 33" in the Annies lol
>>152581472Editorial. Which is the same as editing? Or different? I don't fucking know.
>>152581541Pic related was a pretty gud movie desu, the endng shocked me
good for them I guess
>>152581554>tfw Leafie was 15 years agoJesus fuck, I can feel myself turning to dust.
>Chris Sanders in stage...Ok, I really never know him and I thought that he was around 50's or mid 40's
That guy is Tina Belcher?! kek
Zach was robbed and that's not Dan Mintz.
She's very shiny.
>Common Side Effects as Best Writting on tv

Could they please put up a graphic saying what category the current speaker won for while they're jabbering on, for fuck sake.
FORGOTTEN ISLAND MENTION
>>152581618Don't you fucking dare say that, don't you fucking dare. Leafie is three years old, and /co/ just discovered it. The future is so great anons.
Elio humiliation ritual
sooo... Judy was naked in the Zootopia storyboard... uh
Fucking finally Bad Guys 2 gets a win
>DandadanWat
Lol they showed the wrong clips for the Best Direction, almost thought I'd missed a Tales of the TMNT episode somehow
Scarlet might be the worst animated movie I've ever seen in theaters, so it's nominations are really funny to me. Pure delusional filmmaking.
>>152580855Why Disney hates them so much?
>>152582306At least you could see it in theaters. I think it got pulled here
What's gonna win best feature? It could be anything! It could even be Kpop Demon Hunters!
Frankelda was robbed
lol at the audience members not clapping when Kpop wins>>152582378Even in the US I'm aware it's release plans got scaled back after its Japanese release (and social media reactions). Pure coincidence I'm sure.
now that Kpop Demon Hunters is squarely on its way to winning the OscarEVERYONE LAUGH AT SONY RIGHT NOW
Here it is on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/live/CkE1yeexrw8
>>152581584Shame about that revival, though...
>>152582550I'm seriously not watching a shilled video for the Scammie Awards. Now I had to rename the filename pic related to reflect going from a pitiful Game Awards full of frogs to a animation award show full of Asians. I swore, it's like that Uncle Grandpa short where he won a crapton of awards, while Steven Universe gets depressed or something.
>>152582675If it was really rigged, Sony wouldn't win shit
>>152582306>>152582454What was so bad about Scarlet?
>>152582675Why the fuck are you in this thread, then?
>>152582440In a possible ironic twist, did their greatest fear happen at this gala?At least we got this>>152582553Something was expected with the list of nominees.
>>152582890>>>152582440ups my bad https://youtu.be/KENrJxcMaLQ?si=-JX9Smun661dW9js
>>152582854/co/ got a little screwy tonight. Some idiot spams porn pics on 4 threads so far, The Mask killed a Death Battle thread, Sharkfag still has two threads up at the moment, and I think my eyes are depressed.
>>152582890Netflix got the international distribution rights and that'll do more for Frankelda then HBO Max US ever did.
>>152582807Well I'm glad you asked.Really bad anime-faced CG animation trying to ape Western style. Every performance is over the top crying or screaming. Pretentious story that is not actually pulling from anything true to life, but seemingly is the director reading Hamlet for the first time and trying to show off how "not like the other anime" he is. Because he has no emotional or intellectual attachment to Hamlet, besides reading it for the first time and knowing he would look smart by making his next movie a gender swap version of it, he butchers the complexity of the material with a lot of terrible anime cliche changes like turning Claudius into a mustache-twirling villain instead of a mournful leader tormented by his murder, or having Scarlet learn about the power of forgiveness instead of killing him (it's ok though, because a magical space dragon kills him anyway not even ten seconds later). Hosoda's been inching closer and closer toward globalization slop, and this is him going off the deep end. Genuinely stunning to see the guy who made Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, and Wolf Children deliver something this terrible, but he was kind of preparing us with his last three movies.What else? Uh, there's a random as fuck Bollywood musical number thrown into the middle of it. There's a goddamn isekai dimension-hopping salaryman that shows up for the adventure. There's a last minute surprise-romance reveal between the main characters.Japan hated it even more than me. It basically became their version of Morbius on social media, making memes about how empty theaters were and calling "viewers" of it "victims".See:https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/283926412/Western critics are only giving it decent reviews because they still don't really get anime, but know they're supposed to get it because it's popular, and since one of his movies got oscar-nominated they feel they'll blend in with the cool crowd if they overpraise the rest of his movies too.
>>152583230Honestly, I don't care that it sucks. I've been waiting for this since last year and I'd rather see more original anime movies than more demon slayer kpop train and jewjitsu kaiser shit
>>152583865Good for you anon! I hope you see better original animations like 100 Meters, Little Amelie, and the new Don Hertzfeldt short too.
>>152583230Looks like Hosoda’s Oscar nomination for Mirai went to his head.>>152584620I heard that Don is making a movie with Ari Aster.
>>152584878Really?
>KPop Demon Hunters wons all their nominations>Little Amelie doesn't won any>Bad Guys 2 WON an award INSTEAD of Zootopia 2, who doesn't won any of their nominationsAnnie Awards are such a fraud and a hacks.
>>152579201
Never heard of that Charly Brown musical, is it any good or the songs make it unbearable?
>>152587036Only thing I know about it is they use the original 50s designs for flashback sequences.
>>152586129https://thefilmstage.com/don-hertzfeldt-and-ari-aster-collaborating-on-a-big-existential-horror-animation/
>>152583230It pains me that this movie did so badly. I actually loved Mirai and thought Belle was fine.
>>152579273anon predicted it!
I’m also shocked the newest Sylvain Chomet film came and went without fanfare. What the hell happened this year with animated features?
>>152581195Joe on Family Guy.
>>152584878>>152588071I think Aster is just giving him financial backing like he did for the Wolf House directors. Not even sure it’s actually going to be horror. But really cool it’s happening.
>>152579201>This is the movie that has made +$1.8B at the box office>Yet, somehow, Annie Awards seems to think that movies like KPop Demon Hunters and Bad Guys 2 deserved more awards than this
>>152588178I really liked Mirai at the time too. Specifically how the coming of age stuff was handled, and the nostalgic music. I think most normal people were turned off by it. Belle (and Boy and the Beast) are much closer to his good movies than Scarlet is, but they had red flags. Scarlet feels like one of those late-era Mamoru Oshii movies where he’s using really dated computer effects and throwing around lots of philosophical dialogue, except Oshii gets away with it because he got a twenty year head start and actually gives the impression he cares about the philosophical shit he puts into it. Scarlet isn’t deep like that at all, it still has a children’s movie view of the world, but without the fun of something like Digimon.
>>152588230For real, Illusionist was fifteen years ago damn it. This should’ve been his Palme d’Or/Oscar movie. I didn’t even know he was capable of mid.Also, if it was a live-action director, people would’ve at least had the respect to see it and say it’s a disappointment. Pretty sure Magnificent Life got like five critic reviews at Cannes. Shame. Hopefully a blu ray gets uploaded.
>>152588230The people who ignored the new Sylvain Chomet film are the same millennoid retards who praises garbage like this like it's some kind of masterpiece when in reality is just a cheap Direct-to-Streaming slop that somehow was released in theaters (remember, this thing doesn't ever get an Annie nomination when even the newest SpongeBob movie had it's nomination).
>>152588678Oh hi schizo. Question: what’s the next move you’ll spam for a year going to be? I just want to know beforehand.
>>152580953>StuGodidn't that show get cancelled?
So are there any notable victories yet?
>>152588678It wouldn't have been eligible for this year's awards anyways since Europeans got it like half a year before us and therefore it was actually a 2024 movie.
