2021 Animation Nominations

[khuddle]

Thought you guys might want to talk about these. Despite Covid, a VERY strong year for animation:


BEST FEATURE

• Encanto
• Luca
• Raya and the Last Dragon
• Sing 2
• The Mitchells Vs The Machines

BEST TV/MEDIA — GENERAL AUDIENCE

• Arcane
  Episode: When These Walls Come Tumbling Down
• Bob’s Burgers
  Episode: Fingers-loose
• Love, Death + Robots
  Episode: Ice
• Star Wars Visions
  Episode: The Duel
• Tuca & Bertie
  Episode: The Dance

BEST VOICE ACTING — FEATURE

• Encanto
  John Leguizamo (Bruno)
• Encanto
  Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel)
• Luca
  Jack Dylan Grazer (Alberto Scorfano)
• Raya and the Last Dragon
  Kelly Marie Tran (Raya)
• The Mitchells vs. The Machine
  Abbi Jacobson (Katie Mitchell)

So for me, first off, Best Feature, I should say I have not seen Encanto or Sing 2. Of the remaining three, Luca was hands down the best. The Mitchells is funny but unnecessarily long. Raya was good too but I hate movies where the villain switches allegiances during the course of the story (an annoying trend in Hollywood recently eg Toy Story 4).

Best TV/Media (General Audience) I'm going to skip, because of the ones mentioned I have only seen Star Wars: Visions (which was lame btw, except for one episode, The Ninth Jedi). I've heard great things about Arcane, I'd be interested in seeing that one.

Best Voice Acting for a Feature, I'll go with Abbi Jacobson (Katie Mitchell) who brought a lot genuinely funny moments to "The Mitchells vs The Machines".
