Annie Awards: ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Snares Best Animated Feature & Six Others – Winners List
Next stop: Oscar. The world of animation bowed before Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse tonight at the 46th annual Annie Awards from UCLA’s Royce Hall. The teen-superhero pic from Sony Pictures Animation pummeled the competition, going 7-for-7 in its nominated categories including Best Animated Feature.
“Go break new ground, everybody,” producer Chris Miller said in accepting the night marquee prize. Added Peter Ramsey, one of the trio who also won the directing prize for Spider-Verse tonight: “We wanted to make a movie that made people feel special and powerful, that was kind of our mission.”

Phil Lord said the diversity of the night’s winners — including student winners — was a resounding message in his ears throughout the program. “The diversity of the projects and the diversity of characters, too,” the Spider-Verse producer/co-writer and co-writer said as the film’s soundtrack hit Sunflower serenaded Royce Hall one again on a dominant night for the Marvel Comics adaptation.
The film has been slicing through its rivals this awards season, and if Spider-Verse wasnb’t the clear front-runner for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Award in three weeks, it certainly is now. The film also won for writing (Lord and Rodney Rothman), directing (Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman), production design, editorial character animation and character design.
The rout left the other nominees for Best Animated Feature grasping for leftovers. Incrediles 2 won twice (music and storyboarding), Ralph Breaks the Internet took the animated effects prize, and Isle of Dogs picked up a trophy for Bryan Cranston’s voice work as Chief. Spidey, of course, wasn’t nominated in any of those categories. The other nominee for the marquee prize, Aardman Animations’ Early Man, went home empty-handed.’
Japan’s Mirai, from Studio Chizu and writer-director Mamoru Hosoda, won Best Animated Feature-Independent, and the animated portions of Mary Poppins Returns won twice tonight as well.
Netflix was among the big winners on the TV side tonight as its BoJack Horseman won for General Audience and voice actor Will Arnett, and the streamer’s Hilda took three prizes. And Disney Channel’s Disney Mickey Mouse continued its winning ways at the Annies, picking up three more statuettes to bring its career haul to 17 since 2013. Bryan Cranston
The Winsor McCay Award went three people tonight: director, animator and art director Ralph Eggleston, who won a Best Animated Short Oscar for 2001’s For the Birds; Frank Braxton (posthumously), the first African-American animator, animation director and guild president; and casting director, voice director and voice actress Andrea Romano.
The June Foray Award was posthumously presented to veteran animator Adam Burke for his significant and benevolent impact on the animation community. Ton Roosendaal, a Dutch software developer and film producer, accepted the Ub Iwerks Award for Blender Open Source Animation Software, and a Certificate of Merit was presented to ASIFA volunteer Jason Jones.
