The Annie Awards

[aimeekitty]

Mitch, Crisso, Derek and I were invited to go to the Annie Awards last night to help represent Futurama and Rough Draft. It was fun! We went to the pre and after party and I saw some people I hadn't seen for years... and some of the guys I went to school with got nominated, which was pretty surreal! I guess we're adults now, huh?

The campus was really lovely. (UCLA's Royce Hall)


(as you can see I caved and got that H&M dress)


The event was hosted by William Shatner (YAAAAAAY!) and lots of the announcers were pretty fabulous, too,... like June Foray, John DiMaggio and Seth Green.

Futurama won "Best Animated Home Entertainment Production"!
They really didn't need us... but it was nice that David X. Cohen asked us to go up with him and Matt Groening! (We decided not to go up.) I liked the nod they gave to the artists, too (even then, done in a funny way.) So many productions just don't really give a crap about the artists, but the Futurama guys do.

Also, Eric Goldberg won "Best Character Animation in a Feature Production" for Louis on Princess and the Frog and did a shout out for hand-drawn animation. ( you can see the rest of the nominees and winners here )


me, Mitch, Crisso and Derek

That's really cool! It's also cool to know they give a crap about the artists because I know what it's like to work for a company that obviously could care less about us as long as we turn our shit in on time X_X_X_X_X

Hellfire! The first year I decide to skip the Annies! lol

That's great you guys won and you got to go on stage. :D Glad you hadfun!

we didn't go on stage, but they asked us to. I would have been too embarrassed to, and they really didn't need us. <3

That is so awesome!! CONGRATULATIONS!

I saw Neil Gaiman mentioning the Annies on Twitter and I was going "I wonder if Aimee is there? And if Futurama won anything?" :) So I'm really glad to hear Futurama got something!!! :D

BTW you looked gorgeous! I love your dress!

The dress is lovely! (I'm hitting H&M today on the strength of these pics -- the dress looked really nice in the promo shot, but on, it looks *amazing.*)

Congrats on the awards and the acknowledgment! We can't wait for the new Futurama to come out :)

And.. it must be said.. SETH GREEN?! HOLY COW he's AWESOME. Sorry -- I love Futurama, but Robot Chicken is my holy grail, I swear.

Awwww, how lovely!! I'm so glad you guys got to go to the awards -- all of you look great! Congrats!!

(It was extra-nifty that I'd just been reading Neil Gaiman posting about it on Twitter, and then I saw your post, eee!)
