Just in general. They give out nominees to 3D animation films as well. This award show is kind of a big deal.

Are they talking about animation during cutscene or ingame??

Because if they are talking about ingame, i'm ready to laugh until 2025...

Who won the last edition of the "annie award" ? Crackdown 3 or ark??

Cuphead won, and they were all hand drawn animations. Your entitled to your opinion, but Annie Awards a big deal in Hollywood. They're not a joke like the VGA's.

Like I said, you're entitled to your opinion. The panel of judges that pick the nominations are experts.

Yeah i can imagine what degree of expertise they have to nominate that game for an animations awards...

They are 100% talking about cutscene...

There is no way that a game with ingame old gen clunky ass looking animations can even be nominated for an animation award...not in the same year of dmc5, sekiro or even lesser game tbh.

Oops. On the website I linked, it put Cuphead in bold, and put WINNER beside it. I thought the rest were nominations underneath that, my bad.

Of course it's for the cinematics, there was no chance in hell otherwise if the award is serious stuff.

Ummm The only reason this beats the other games this year is if the so called "expert" panel loves gears of war or MS otherwise theres animations in game for other games this year and cutscenes that beat gears....
