Great to hear, HerpDerp!

My guess is that "Never Say Xever" for directing will win and "I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman" will win for Storyboarding. Either that, or it's Riders of Berk. Still, I'm counting on Stockman.:tcool:

However, I don't see Whitman winning for April. Tom McGrath as Skipper is definitely one to bank on. His voice is iconic to the character. Now, if we were to have Jason Biggs as Leo or Rob Paulsen as Don, then I would vote for either one of them.:twink:

Cool. I'm surprised to see that The Gauntlet didn't get a nod for directing though.

I honestly don't think it can win any of those awards! Maybe Directing for Never say Xever but knowing them, Spongebob Squarepants will probably win everything.

Oh and The Legend of Korra got SNUBBED!

Korra got two nominations in other categories (check the link I posted for the full list).

Here's another link, which is easier to read (it's all on one page):

That's awesome that Turtles is getting a nod. I've never heard of an Annie before, but I expect it's similar to the Emmys, right? I hope they win in their categories, but even if they don't, at least they got a nomination and that's something.

Not as big as Emmys, but they're the major awards for animation - "animation's highest honor". :)

Great news! I hope they can win at least one.

Congrats to this show ! I love it! it has way surpassed my expectations.:D

That is awesome!

Get off spongebobs dick.

This is some wonderful news.
:D

good news! and congrats to the nick crew!

That's pretty interesting.

Though I doubt any of the episodes will end up winning anything, it's nice that the show is being recognized so early in its run.

From what I understand, individual episodes are submitted for consideration. That way the organization doesn't have to analyze every episode of every show. I guess for whatever reason, they decided not to submit The Gauntlet, though that is definitely one of the better episodes so far!

It's up against some pretty tough competition! That episode of Adventure Time was a great one.

Sweet! Hopefully TMNT can win some awards here, though even just being nominated when they haven't even finished season one yet says a lot for how well it's being received I'd think.

I wish this awards show was aired. I'd love to see it.

fixed :D

Anyway Good job to the TMNT production team on these animations. Hope it gets at least one of these awards.

If one of the three win, I'll be pleased since the straight odds of winning are approximately 39%, so even if there isn't a win it won't be the end of the world, but kudos to Nickelodeon/Nielli/Whitman/Chang. I really love the storyboarding in this series since episode plots are well thought out and lead to great scenes, and is the one I hope wins. Ciero Nielli could have been nominated for any episode, but Never Say Xever is a good choice. Mae Whitman as April is a nice surprised since many still feel that Veronica Taylor's April is superior and never got nominated for such an award. But this honor is quite an accomplishment given that the 4kids series never got nominated for anything.
