“Nimona” led all films in nominations for the 51st annual Annie Awards, animation awards that were announced on Thursday morning. The Netflix film received nine nominations to lead “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Suzume” and “The Boy and the Heron,” which received seven, and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” which received six.
But the big news was what wasn’t included alongside those five films in the Best Feature category. For the first time in Annie Awards history, neither Disney nor Pixar scored an animation in the top category. In the 31 years that the category has been in existence, Disney/Pixar have landed 53 nominations and won 18 times, remaining a constant at the Annies even during a couple of years when the companies pulled out of the organization until voting processes were reformed.
