It was a good night to be "up" last night. Up won Best Picture Award at the Annie Awards, the awards for animated films. The comedy/drama Up in the Air won the USC Libraries Scripter Award given to "the year's best book-to-film adaptation." Both ceremonies took place on the night of Saturday, February 6, 2010.
The Annie Awards were hosted by William Shatner at UCLA's Royce Hall. Up won two of its nine nominations, in the big categories of Best Feature and Best Director. Coraline led with 10 nominations and won three, for character design, music and production design. The Princess and the Frog also won three (out of 8 nominations) for animated effects, character animation and voice acting. The awards are presented by ASIFA-Hollywood, the Los Angeles branch of the International Animated Film Society. A complete list of award winners follows.
Presented at the University of Southern California’s Doheny Library, the USC Libraries Scripter Award went to Up in the Air author Walter Kirn and screenwriters Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner. Also in the running were screenwriter Scott Cooper and author Thomas Cobb for Crazy Heart; screenwriters Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell for District 9, adapted from Blomkamp’s screenplay for the short film Alive in Joburg; screenwriter Nick Hornby and author Lynn Barber for An Education; and for Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire, screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher and "Push" author Sapphire.
