Annie Awards 2020 - trionfa Klaus!

Si è tenuta nella notte la 47esima edizione degli Annie Awards, gli "Oscar" dell'animazione.

A trionfare, anche un po' a sorpresa, è stato Klaus - I Segreti del Natale, che si è portato a casa 7 premi tra cui quello come miglior film. Film prodotto da Netflix, vero vincitore della serata con ben 19 premi (su 32 categorie), grande soddisfazione per il canale streaming che ha battuto anche la Disney.

Gli Annie Awards sono molto importanti in ottica Oscar, e facendo un riassunto dei premi assegnati fino ad oggi, nella categoria miglior film d'animazione al momento non c'è un vero e proprio favorito. Toy Story 4 è stato premiato dalle Guild (molto influenti), Missing Link ha vinto il Golden Globe (poco influente), e ora Klaus - I Segreti del Natale che si è aggiudicato l'Annie diventando, di fatto, il favorito per l'Oscar 2020 ma è un vantaggio molto sottile.

Ecco tutti i vincitori.

Annie Awards 2016 - dominio Pixar nelle nomination

Nessuna sorpresa nelle nomination dei 43esimi Annie Awards, gli "Oscar dell'animazione", a farla da padrona è la Pixar con 24 nomination in tutto.

E' Inside Out a ricevere il maggior numero di nomination, ben 14, e a seguire con 10 nomination, Il Viaggio di Arlo.
L'ultima volta che la Pixar si è portata a casa il premio come miglior film d'animazione è stato con Up!, nel 2009, quest'anno però sembra essere il favorito grazie al capolavoro Inside Out.

Gli altri candidati nella categoria Miglior Film d'Animazione sono Shaun the Sheep: the Movie, Snoopy & Friends e Anomalisa di Charlie Kaufman, vero e proprio outsider della categoria.
Due dei maggiori successi della stagione, Minions e Hotel Transylvania 2, hanno ottenuto rispettivamente 7 e 3 nomination.

DGA, Annie e ADG Awards: tutti i vincitori!

Tanti premi assegnati in una notte sola: i DGA, il premio del sindacato dei registi (Directors Guild of America); gli ADG, il premio del sindacato degli scenografi (Art Directors Guild); e gli Annie Awards, i premi per i film d'animazione.

A trionfare come miglior regista dell'anno ai DGA Awards è ancora Ben Affleck per il suo 'Argo'.
"Ho lavorato molto, molto duramente per diventare il miglior regista possibile, impegnandomi per ore e ore, sbattendo la testa contro un muro, rimproverandomi, mentendo a me stesso sul fatto che stavo andando a lavorare", ha detto Ben Affleck durante il discorso di ringraziamento, "Sinceramente, ho raggiunto il mio obiettivo quando sono stato nominato per questo premio. Non credo che ciò faccia di me un vero regista, ma penso che ciò significhi che ho imboccato la strada giusta."

Tutti questi premi non fanno che aumentare gli interrogativi sulla mancata nomination all'Oscar per Ben Affleck che non concorrerà come miglior regista. In 65 anni è la terza volta che a vincere il DGA è un regista non candidato all'Oscar, i precedenti sono per Steven Spielberg e Ron Howard.


Sono invece 'Anna Karenina', 'Life of Pi' e 'Skyfall' i trionfatori degli ADG Awards. Il film di 007 però non potrà ripetersi agli Oscar non essendo stato nominato al contrario de 'Lo Hobbit', 'Les Misérables' e 'Lincoln', che non hanno ricevuto premi,

Ecco la lista dei vincitori:

- Best Art Direction for a Fantasy Film: David Gropman for Life of Pi
- Best Art Direction for a Period Film: Sarah Greenwood, Anna Karenina
- Best Art Direction for a Contemporary Film: Dennis Gassner, Skyfall
- Best Art Direction for a TV Mini-Series: Mark Worthington, American Horror Story


Altro giro, altro premio, è 'Ralph Spaccatutto' a portarsi a trionfare agli Annie Awards 2013. Il film della Disney si è portato a casa 5 premi, miglior film, regista, sceneggiatura, colonna sonora e doppiaggio.

Premi anche per 'Le 5 Leggende', 'Brave' e 'Paranorman'. A secco 'Frankenweenie' di Tim Burton. Premiato come miglior cortometraggio il bellissimo 'Paperman', sempre della Disney.
