The '''Annie Awards''' are accolades which the [[Los Angeles]] branch of the [[International Animated Film Association]], [[ASIFA-Hollywood]], has presented each year since 1972<ref>{{Cite web |title=ASIFA-Hollywood – History |url=http://www.asifa-hollywood.org/about-us/history/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190423014251/https://www.asifa-hollywood.org/about-us/history/ |archive-date=2019-04-23 |access-date=2016-08-17 |website=[[ASIFA-Hollywood]]}}</ref> to recognize excellence in animation shown in American cinema and television. Originally designed to celebrate lifetime or career contributions to animation, the award has been given to individual works since 1992.

Membership in ASIFA-Hollywood is divided into three main categories: General Member (for professionals), Patron (for enthusiasts of animation), and Student Member. Members in each category pay a fee to belong to the branch. Selected professional members of the branch are permitted to vote to decide the awards.

The [[48th Annie Awards|48th]] and [[49th Annie Awards]] ceremonies were held virtually on April 16, 2021, and March 12, 2022, respectively, due to the then ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2022/awards/news/annie-awards-2022-move-virtual-covid-omicron-1235158506/|title=Annie Awards 2022 Move to March, Go Virtual Due to COVID Concerns|date=January 20, 2022|first=Ethan|last=Shanfeld|website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|access-date=January 20, 2022}}</ref>

== History ==
In 1972, [[June Foray]] first conceived the idea of awards for excellence in the field of animation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sandell |first=Scott |date=July 28, 2017 |title=Classic Hollywood: June Foray, a profile in characters |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/classichollywood/la-et-mn-classic-hollywood-20170728-story.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200218224012/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/classichollywood/la-et-mn-classic-hollywood-20170728-story.html |archive-date=February 18, 2020 |access-date=February 19, 2020 |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> With the approval of [[ASIFA-Hollywood]] president Nick Bosustow, an Annie Award ceremony was organized.

=== Naming "Annie Awards" ===
According to Foray, her husband Hobart Donavan suggested that the awards be called "Annie", because they are presented for excellence in animation.<ref name=annie />

=== Trophy ===
The first trophy for the Annie Award trophy was presented in the second award ceremony, to [[Walter Lantz]], the founder of [[Walter Lantz Productions]] and creator of [[Woody Woodpecker]]. Made of wood and plastic, it was shaped like a [[zoetrope]]. The next year, Tom Woodward designed the trophy now presented.

==Balloting controversies and criticism==

===2008 Best Short Subject mixup===
In 2008, the Annie Award nominees for Best Short Subject included two [[Walt Disney]] cartoons, a [[Pixar]] short, and two independent films: Picnic Pictures' ''[[The Chestnut Tree]]'', and [[Don Hertzfeldt]]'s short ''[[Everything Will Be OK]]''. Official rules for the Annie Awards state that voting members must view all nominated achievements in their entirety before casting their ballot for a winner. Members are directed to view the nominated films on a secure website.

When the online ballot launched on January 15, the two independent films were not included for voters to judge. ASIFA acknowledged this error over a week later, at which point all the votes were reportedly thrown out and the balloting system was reset. Voters were instructed to return and re-vote the category. "The Chestnut Tree" was now uploaded properly to the ballot; however, ''[[Everything Will Be OK]]'' was again not included: this time, the online ballot only played a portion of this film's 17-minute running time to voters, abruptly cutting out in the middle of a scene. ASIFA again took several days to repair the ballot, but this time allowed voting to continue.

By the time the ballot officially closed on February 1, ''[[Everything Will Be OK]]'' was only available to voters for less than 24 hours of the entire 18-day voting period.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Why Don Hertzfeldt Probably Won't Win an Annie |url=http://www.cartoonbrew.com/events/why-don-hertzfeldt-probably-wont-win-an-annie |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080616083745/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/events/why-don-hertzfeldt-probably-wont-win-an-annie |archive-date=June 16, 2008 |access-date=2011-06-04 |publisher=Cartoon Brew}}</ref> Even though ASIFA apologized to Hertzfeldt, they took no further action and carried on with the event, awarding the prize to the [[Pixar]] short, ''[[Your Friend the Rat]]''. (Hertzfeldt would eventually win the award for his 2015 Oscar-nominated short film ''[[World of Tomorrow (film)|World of Tomorrow]]''.)

===Dreamworks upset and Disney boycott===
In 2009, [[DreamWorks Animation]]'s ''[[Kung Fu Panda (film)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' swept the Annie Awards in a surprise upset over [[Pixar]]'s ''[[WALL-E]]'', which won no Annie Awards but did go on to win the [[Academy Award for Best Animated Feature]]. Many felt that the vote had been rigged: DreamWorks at the time gave each of their employees a free membership to ASIFA-Hollywood, which in turn conferred voting rights. (For most film awards, voting rights cannot be bought but must be conferred by one's peers.)<ref name="disney withdraws">{{Cite web |last=Debruge |first=Peter |date=August 25, 2010 |title=Disney withdraws from Annie Awards|url=https://variety.com/2010/digital/news/disney-withdraws-from-annie-awards-1118023270/ |access-date=2022-06-16 |publisher=Variety}}</ref>

As a result, [[Walt Disney Studios (division)|Walt Disney Studios]] decided to cease submissions and support for the 2010 Annie Awards from their two animated film divisions, [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] and Pixar.<ref name="disney withdraws" /> Due to Disney's complaints, ASIFA-Hollywood changed the rules on voting for individual achievement categories, making those categories only available to professionals within those categories. ASIFA-Hollywood head Antran Manoogian also said that Annie voters would in the future have to be approved by a committee and non-professionals would now be ineligible to vote.<ref name="disney withdraws" />

That was not enough for Disney president Ed Catmull, who had called for an advisory committee of relevant executives representing each studio to recommend rule changes to the ASIFA board. Catmull said, "We believe there is an issue with the way the Annies are judged, and have been seeking a mutually agreeable solution with the board. Although some initial steps have been taken, the board informed us that no further changes would be made to address our concerns."<ref name="disney withdraws" /> ASIFA-Hollywood did not agree to this demand.<ref name="end boycott">{{Cite web |last=Pond |first=Steve |date=August 18, 2011 |title=Disney, Pixar End Annie Awards Boycott |url=https://www.thewrap.com/disney-pixar-end-annie-awards-boycott-30226/ |website=The Wrap}}</ref>

Disney and Pixar rejoined the Annie Awards in 2011, with no formal announcement.<ref name="end boycott" /> Ironically, earlier that year, the Annie Awards had a near-exact replay of the 2009 results, with DreamWorks Animation's ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (2010 film)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' sweeping all the major Annie Awards over Pixar's ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and also received a nomination for [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]].<ref name="end boycott" />
