Wow, the list of nominees really reminds you how great a year it was for animation. In any other year, "Up" and "The Princess and the Frog" would be locks. Don't count out "Fantastic Mr. Fox" or "Coraline." Stop-motion could get its due this year.

Re: 37th annual Annie Awards 2009

Pixar Animation Studio's "Up" was named best animated feature at the 37th annual Annie (animation) Awards, Saturday at UCLA's Royce Hall.

Nominated for five Academy Awards, "Up" is the odds-on favorite to win the Oscar for animated feature, and is only the second animated film to earn a nomination in the best picture category. It is also nominated for best screenplay, music and sound editing Oscars.

Other big Annie winners were "Coraline" and "The Princess and the Frog," with three awards each.

Disney/Pixar's "Up" earned a total of two Annie trophies -- best animated feature and Pete Docter for direction -- extending its string of prior awards including last month's Golden Globe. In all, awards were presented in 23 Annie categories in features, TV and commercials.

The Annie for best animated feature has matched the eventual Oscar winner each year since the Academy Awards first awarded the category in 2002, except for twice. A year ago, the Annie Awards came under some scrutiny after DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda" dominated the Annies and won the top prize, shutting out eventual Oscar winner "Wall-E" from Pixar.
