Soul prefaces its Oscar win with Annie dominance
I almost forgot to post the results here, as they happened on Friday night and Soul came out on top with seven Annies, as expected, but Wolfwalkers put up a good fight and won five, including direction. It shouldn’t matter for the Oscars though, as Soul will win Animated Feature easily. One of these days though, Tomm Moore is going to break through.
