It’s that time of the year again, when The Simpsons blitzes the low-key ‘Annie Awards’ nominations and often comes home with the goods. This year’s awards ceremony takes place on Febuary 7th at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. The Simpsons is nominated in the following categories. “Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Television Production” – The Simpsons (Gracie Films); “Directing in an Animated Television Production” (‘Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky); “Music in an Animated Television Production” (“Dude, Where’s My Ranch?” – Everybody Hates Ned Flanders); and the one that took an Emmy last year, “Writing in an Animated Television Production” (Three Gays of the Condo by Matt Warburton). The Simpsons face Jimmy Neutron, Spiderman, Futurama, and King Of The Hill as competitors, to name a few. You can read the complete nominations at annieawards.org.
