Pete Docter&#8217;s Up was the best picture winner and Docter was the best director at the Annie Awards ceremony held Saturday evening at UCLA&#8217;s Royce Hall in Los Angeles. The favorite movie did win the top two prizes &#8212; but that was it. With three awards each, Coraline and The Princess and the Frog were the evening&#8217;s top animated feature winners.
But at least Up&#8217;s best picture victory avoided a repeat of last year&#8217;s outrage  following the Kung Fu Panda sweep when WALL-E was the odds-on favorite. Up is the favorite to win this year&#8217;s Best Animated Feature Academy Award. It&#8217;s also the second ever animated feature to be nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award.

Best Animated Feature
Pete Docter&#8217;s Up

Peter Docter&#8217;s Up should take the Golden Globe for best animated feature. It&#8217;s a huge box-office success that has been greeted by some of the best reviews of the year. Although Wes Anderson&#8217;s Fantastic Mr. Fox has its fans  and has won a number of awards from film critics&#8217; groups,  it doesn&#8217;t really stand much of a chance here.
The other nominees in this category are Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Coraline, and The Princess and the Frog. Even though all three movies did generally get good reviews, none of them is on a class with either Up or Fantastic Mr. Fox in terms of critical response. And none gets even close to Up [...]]]></description>

Pete Docter&#8217;s Up (Disney / Pixar) (top); Wes Anderson&#8217;s Fantastic Mr. Fox (Fox Searchlight Pictures) (bottom)

Although Pete Docter&#8217;s Up was expected to have the animation year-end awards field all to itself, it ultimately had to face tough competition from Wes Anderson&#8217;s Fantastic Mr. Fox, which features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Jason Schwartzman, among others.
Up has won awards from at least 14 US-based groups, while Fantastic Mr. Fox has won 7. Both are up for a Golden Globe and for a best animated feature Annie Award. Coraline is the only other animated feature to win an award this season, from the San Francisco film critics. It&#8217;s also up for a Golden Globe and an Annie Award.

Alex Proyas’ apocalyptic thriller  celebrated the widest release this week at 3,332 locations, taking the No. 1  spot as early as Friday. In the film, Nicolas Cage tries to prevent a series  of global disasters.
