41st Annual Annie Awards

[Patrick]

Do we normally do a topic for these? Do they normally stream it live? Is this the first year?

Either way, I figured it'd be nice to chat with anyone who feels like watching. The awards start at 7PM PST and will be live streamed from the link below. Frozen and Monsters University are both nominated for Best Animated Feature, and have 10 nominations each (unless I can't count properly.)

Oh goodie!

[Linden]

I'm watching along here too. Cloris Leachman was crazy!

[SWillie!]

Yeah, crazy annoying. It was funny at first, and quickly got very annoying, and at times rude.

[Linden]

I didn't see her whole announcer stint, so I was more amused than anything. Although if I was trying to give a thank you speech, that would be another story.
