Last year the Annie Awards caused quite a stir when Kung Fu Panda swept Wall-E in every category. Of course, Wall-E still went on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, but it’s interesting to note that this year, with so many great animated movies to choose from, the Annies decided to go back and honour Pixar’s Up with their top prize. Needless to say, Up is now a heavy favourite at the Oscars (if it wasn’t already), but how did the other categories shake down for the Annie Awards?

Pete Docter also received the award for Directing, but it was The Princess and the Frog and Coraline that split many of the other categories. Personally I was just pleased to see Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach pick up the Writing award for Fantastic Mr. Fox. After the jump, you can see all of the feature film categories with the winners denoted in bold.
