Netflix dominates Annie Awards as Klaus wins Best Feature

Each year, the Hollywood chapter of the International Animated Movie association hold the Annie Awards, calling the year’s best in animation. Not only do they recognize the broad swath of accomplishments from the year, but with only 7 days before Oscar ballot begins, they stand as a prominent minute in choosing which movie could win the coveted Oscar.

It’s worth keeping in mind that, because the Finest Animated Feature classification was created in 2002, 13 of the 18 winners of the Annies’ function reward took house the Oscar.

Here’s a total breakdown of the winners, which vary from theatrical, episodic, and even industrial animation. Netflix came out on top with 19 wins across all the categories.
