While The Mitchells vs. the machines was the prom queen of the annie awards Saturday evening, Encanto Disney added another honor to the animated film to its long list of accolades. The fantasy-adventure musical dealt with mitchells (Sony / Netflix), Luca (Pixar) and Flee (Final Cut for Real). The latter was also nominated for the Documentary Award, which he went to summer of soul.

As noted in our nomination coverage, BAFTA e AMPS tend to pick the same animated film winner, having disagreed on the best cartoon of the year just three times since the UK org introduced the category in 2006/2007. However, there will be several strong contenders waiting for the big announcement on the night of the Oscars…

And, although The Power of the Dog by Jane Campion garnering both prestigious awards for Best Picture and Best Director, the adaptation of Denis Villeneuve's (Warner Bros.) Dune was the most successful film of the night, receiving five awards including Special Visual Effects - to Brian Connor , Paul Lambert, Tristan Myles and Gerd Nefzer.
