Your humble ed-otter and his mate got a chance to attend the Annie Awards at UCLA’s Royce Hall recently. Presented annually by ASIFA-Hollywood, the Annie Awards are considered by many to be the Oscars for animation, voted on by folks who work in the industry. And once again, there was plenty of anthropomorphic content to be found among the winners. By far, the big winner of the evening was Sony Pictures’ Spider Man: Into The Spiderverse. The surprise hit from last December not only won the coveted Best Animated Feature trophy, but also took home the Feature awards for Directing, Writing, Character Animation, Character Design, Production Design, and Editing — winning all seven categories in which it was nominated. (Go, Spider-Ham!). Ralph Breaks The Internet had to settle for only one award in Feature Effects Animation, while the 2D animated sequence in Mary Poppins Returns got the awards for Animated Special Production and Character Animation In A Live Action Feature. Also taking home one award was Wes Anderson’s Isle Of Dogs, which got the award in Feature Voice Acting for Bryan Cranston’s performance as Chief. Over on the TV/Broadcast side of things, the big winners were Hilda from Netflix (taking home awards for Best TV Series For Children, Writing, and Character Animation) and Disney’s Mickey Mouse (with trophies for Music, Storyboarding — tied with Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — and Directing). In TV Character Design, the Annie went to a very anthropomorphic episode of Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure called “Freebird”. Bojack Horseman did well, winning for TV Voice acting (Will Arnett as Bojack) and Best TV Production overall. Dreamworks’ Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters won the trophy for Best TV Effects Animation. The award for Best Commercial went to “There’s a Rang-Tan in My Bedroom” (produced for Greenpeace), and the first winner of the brand new Best Virtual Reality award was Crow: The Legend (which we’ve talked about before!). Finally, the Ub Iwerks Award for technical achievement went to the developers of the open source software known as Blender, which of course many furry creators have also used extensively. To see all the winners visit the Annie Awards web site — and remember, nominations for the Ursa Major Awards close on February 16th!

Nikki M is an illustrator we met at Further Confusion this year. Here’s what she has to say about herself: “My name is Nichole (you can call me Nikki!) and I am an illustrator/general artist based in Los Angeles CA. I graduated in 2015 from The Dave School, with experience in 3D and visual effects. My focus and passion lies in design, illustration and digital painting. Working with colors and seeing a character come to life before my eyes is what brings me pure joy. I currently am working as a freelance artist, and am open to take on any challenge that’s thrown my way!” Check out her Gallery, and keep an eye on her web site — she’ll have a Storenvy store set up soon to sell prints, pins, and other art stuff.

The artist known as AshG is an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy, often deployed on ships at sea. But somehow she still finds the time and energy to create Monster’s Garden, a full-color on-line comic. It tells the story of Kilo Monster, a championship fighter (and reptile) who is thrown out of his homeland.  Now he lives his life for the protection of his friends (human and otherwise) and the peace of his home garden. The official web site includes a link to AshG’s Society6 store of art prints and other items.

Going to NordicFuzzCon this year? It looks like EZ Cooldown is supporting the NFC Maids Cafe and will be serving hot coffee, cappuccinos and cooling vests. Kinda wild really.

He lives in the prairies of Canada.His recent furry genre works include "The Years of Living Dangerously Happy" in Hot Dish #2, "Plow Mare" in Will of the Alpha #3, "After the Last Bell's Rung" and "Eight Seconds and the Grace of God" in Claw the Way to Victory, and "Prospero" in Abandoned Places.Look for his presentation "This Year in Furry Books", presented at Fur-Eh! and online at https://bit.ly/2J4ptriAs an avid reader, writer, and advocate of the furry genre since 1996, he's excited to join the ranks of furry book reviewers, to elevate the exceptional and champion the best of our genre.Donald Jacob Uitvlugt lives on neither coast of the United States, but mostly in a haunted memory palace of his own design. Over five dozen of his short stories have appeared in print and online, as well as microfiction, essays, reviews, and the occasional poem. Perhaps a quarter of his stories have also been produced in audio format. He has published furry stories in both fandom and non-fandom venues, including “Outliers” in 2017’s Bleak Horizons and “In the Sands of Rubal-Khali,” appearing in 2018 on the podcast StarShip Sofa.While he can often be found prowling the science fiction and fantasy section of bookstores and libraries, his reading tastes are voracious and eclectic—including biography, history, science, religion, poetry, and manga. He especially appreciates well-executed adaptations of folklore from around the world, as well as authorial voices that are perfectly matched to the stories they tell.This is his first time as a Leo Awards judge.Scott Hughes received a BA in English and Creative Writing from Mercer University and an MFA in Creative Writing from Georgia College & State University. His fiction, poetry, and essays have appeared in such publications as Crazyhorse, One Sentence Poems, Deep Magic, Redheaded Stepchild, Entropy, and Strange Horizons. He is the Division Head of English at Central Georgia Technical College, and his short story collection, The Last Book You’ll Ever Read, is forthcoming from Weasel Press in 2019. For more information, visit writescott.com.I am excited to participate as a judge in the Leo Literary Awards because I have some knowledge of the furry community, mainly through documentaries (some made by furries themselves, some not), but I must confess I have never read any furry literature. Approaching this as a non-furry, I’m eager to delve into what must be fascinating stories and to be drawn into a new world that I have so far only viewed from the outside.Stanley Jenkins is the author of A City on a Hill: An Indirect Memoir (Outpost19, 2013) and Down the Plymouth Road: An Indirect Spiritual Autobiography (Thurston Howl Publications, 2018). His story “George” was published in The Best Creative Nonfiction, Vol. 2 (Norton, 2008).

Nickelodeon has a new cat and it is NOTHING like Lego Unikitty ... Nope. Still, I'm all for more Anibi (Anubises?) in animation.

I never knew Leopards had refined tastes like that but I should have expected as much. This series of commercials were made by Polish effects outs Platige Images [1] for a Dubai based marketing company [2]. "Schweppes +C The Refinement continues... Our leopard attends a fancy horse racing championship and meets an unexpected guest. Schweppes +C A unique, refreshing lemon drink for a more civilized age." https://youtu.be/GlxF2SfFtIE [1] https://www.platige.com/ [2] http://www.memacogilvy.com/
