Annie Awards: ‘Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’ Takes Best Feature And Tops Winners
The Sony Animation sequel snared Best Feature and six other trophies  the same number that SpiderMan Into the SpiderVerse scored at the 2019 Annies  setting it up as the frontrunner for the Animated Feature Oscar next month. SpiderMan Into the SpiderVerse went on to take Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards. Since the Best Animated Feature Oscar category was launched in 2002, 14 of the 21 winners of the Annies top feature prize  and seven of the past 11  went on to claim the golden statuette. Last year followed suit, as Netflixs Guillermo del Toros Pinocchio triumphed at both trophy shows. On Sunday, SpiderMan scored wins for Directing, Music, Production Design, Character Design, FX and editing. Gkids Hayao Miyazaki hit The Boy and the Heron and Netflixs Nimona  the latter of which came into the ceremony with a leading nine nominations  were the other top film winners, taking two trophies apiece Robot Dreams from Arcadia Motion Pictures won Best Feature  Independent. Those three films will battle for the Academy Award next month against SpiderVerse and Disney/Pixars Elemental.
