The Annie Awards presentation has completed and the winners are all listed below. While the awards presentation, streamed live, was chaotic, plagued by technical difficulties and flubs, the presenters were largely having fun and in spite of everything, it was a fun time. Wreck-It Ralph now becomes the key contender for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. Whether it will win or not remains to be seen, but it has had a solid trajectory over the last few weeks and this victory helps.
