Animation Festivals Directory

The Annie Awards is ASIFA-Hollywood’s most glamorous event. Each year we dress up and get together like the other academies to honor our stars. In fact, the Awards are so much a part of our organization, we tend to forget there was a time before the Annies.

That we have an awards celebration is due to longtime ASIFA-Hollywood standout June Foray. In Hollywood lingo, the Annies were “June’s baby.” It was she who conceived the idea and proceeded to make them a reality.
