‘Incredibles 2,’ ‘Ralph,’ top Annie Award nominations; ‘Mary Poppins’ scores 5
Incredibles 2 (Pixar) 
Ralph Breaks the Internet (Disney) 
Mary Poppins Returns (Disney)
Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet stormed the Annie Awards nominations today with 11 and 10 apiece, respectively. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Early Man came in with 8 and 7, respectively, and all were nominated in the top category of Best Animated Feature alongside Isle of Dogs.
The big eye catcher of the day though was Mary Poppins Returns grabbing five mentions. The Disney sequel has an animated sequence but sits right next to fully animated features in the categories of Character Design, Production Design and Storyboard in an Animated Feature Production. It will also compete in two of the Live Action Production categories, blurring the lines of how and what constitutes one or the other.
The Winsor McCay Award will go to Academy Award-winning director, animator and art director Ralph Eggleston; casting director, voice director and voice actress Andrea Romano and a posthumous award to Frank Braxton, the first African-American animator, animation director and guild president.
The June Foray Award goes to animator Adam Burke (also posthumously) for his impact on the animation community. Dutch software developer and film producer Ton Roosendaal will accept the Ub Iwerks Award for Blender Open Source Animation Software; and a Certificate of Merit will be presented to ASIFA volunteer Jason Jones.
Last year, Pixar’s Coco nearly swept, winning 11 of 13 of its nominated categories including Best Animated Feature. It went on to win Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.
Here is the full list of nominations for the 46th Annie Awards. Winners will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on February 2, 2019.
