The Juried Awards honor career achievements and notable contributions to animation. The late Joe Ranft, Phil Roman and Isao Takahata received this year’s Winsor McCay award for their contributions to the art of animation, and producer Don Hahn received the June Foray honor for his “significant and benevolent or charitable impact on the art and industry of animation.”

The Annies and the Academy Awards have had a mixed track record in their animated feature category. This year, “How to Train Your Dragon 2” captured the top prize, while the Oscar went to “Big Hero 6.” The year before, both organizations chose “Frozen.”
