WALL-E Gets Shut Out At The Animation Awards!

Shocking stuff, and here's Variety's take on the matter:

“Kung Fu Panda” kicked considerable butt at the 36th annual Annie Awards on Friday night, shutting out the competition to win every feature-related category the international animation society ASIFA offers — and then some, earning additional kudos for its videogame and “Secrets of the Furious Five” short film tie-ins.
Fifteen-category victory marks a coup for DreamWorks Animation, which hasn’t seen one of its CG features take the Annies’ top prize since 2002 (though they did share the stage with Aardman three years back for stop-motion “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit”), especially since the show has correctly forecast the Academy’s taste all but once since the Oscars introduced its feature animation category.
“Kung Fu Panda’s” fellow Oscar nominees, “Wall-E” and “Bolt,” went home empty-handed, but the evening was not without suspense, even as the pattern emerged: In some cases, “Panda” contributors faced off againsts one another in such categories as character animation and production design, and Dustin Hoffman beat co-stars James Hong and and Ian McShane for his voice acting contributions to the animated martial arts comedy.
Favorites emerged in the smallscreen categories as well, with “Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II” snagging three awards, “Avatar” taking two and “Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs” earning the org’s home entertainment trophy.
The group spread the love among shorts, favoriting Aardman’s latest Wallace and Gromit short, “A Matter of Loaf and Death,” for its main prize, while celebrating individual contributions associated with Disney-produced “Glago’s Ghost” and DreamWorks’ “Secrets of the Furious Five.”
