The animated feature Oscar has been an open and shut case for months now, and Inside Out's utter dominance of tonight's Annie Awards just laid it out even more plainly. It won just about everything it was up for- one of the biggest nights for any movie at this ceremony in its history, in fact. By the way, I'm rarely invested in this category, but World of Tomorrow won the Best Animated Short here, which I really hope repeats at the Oscars, and if anyone is curious to check that out, it's currently streaming on Netflix. It's a beautiful, visionary short and you won't regret watching it, trust me.
