    BURBANK, Calif. --

    ASIFA-Hollywood has unveiled the nominations for its 52nd Annie Awards™ recognizing the year’s best in the field of animation.

    This year’s Best Animated Feature nominations are: Inside Out 2 – Pixar Animation Studios; Kung Fu Panda 4 – DreamWorks Animation; That Christmas – Locksmith Animation for Netflix.; The Wild Robot – DreamWorks Animation; Ultraman: Rising – Netflix Presents in association with Tsuburaya Productions; and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl – Aardman and Netflix.

    The Wild Robot leads the Annie Awards tally with 10 nominations.

    Nominees for Best Animated Feature-Independent, spotlighting feature with a much smaller distribution footprint than major studio releases are: Chicken for Linda!– Dolce Vita Films, Miyu Productions, Palosanto Films, France 3 Cinéma, Distributed by GKIDS; Flow – Sacrebleu Productions, Take Five, Dream Well Studio; Kensuke’s Kingdom – Paramount Pictures; Look Back – Studio Durian, Distributed by GKIDS; Mars Express – Everybody on Deck, Je Suis Bien Content, Distributed by GKIDS; and Memoir of a Snail – Snails Pace Films/Arenamedia.

    The Annie Awards cover 36 categories and include Best Animated Feature, Best Animated Feature-Independent, Special Productions, Sponsored Films, Short Subjects, Student Films and Outstanding Individual Achievements, as well as the honorary Juried Awards.

    “We are so very thrilled at the nominations this year – it exemplifies the range of talent and approaches to our diverse art form,” said ASIFA-Hollywood executive director Aubry Mintz. “The juried award winners honor the past, present and future of animation. ASIFA-Hollywood’s Annie Awards™ celebrate artists that have made incredible achievements in both the commercial studio world, and the independent filmmaking arenas, recognizing the impact that is made to improve equity and inclusion, and acknowledge innovation as we look towards the horizon.”

    The Juried Awards will be presented during the ceremony, honoring unparalleled achievement and exceptional contributions to animation. The Winsor McCay Award in recognition of lifetime or career contributions are being presented to three recipients: longtime Disney supervising animator/director Aaron Blaise, National Film Board of Canada (NFB) writer, director, producer and Academy Award influencer Eunice Macaulay (posthumous); and influential NFB composer and sound designer Normand Roger. The June Foray Award for significant and benevolent impact will be awarded to the global non-profit Women In Animation (WIA), advocating for gender equity and inclusion in animation, VFX, and gaming.

    The Ub Iwerks Award for technical advancement affecting the animation industry will be presented to visual effects, animation and gaming pioneer Alberto Menache who contributed founding technology to performance capture, virtual production and more. The Special Achievement Award acknowledging unique and outstanding achievement not recognized within the existing award category structure will be presented to “Directing at Disney-The Original Directors of Walt’s Animated Films,” the historically important new book by Pete Docter and Don Peri.

    The 52nd Annie Awards™ is set for Saturday, February 8, 2025 at UCLA’s Royce Hall.

    Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ Murder Trial Heads To Closing In Tupac Shakur’s 1996 Killing

    Friday, August 28, 2026

    The murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur is headed to closing arguments after the defense rested Thursday following testimony from three former Las Vegas police officers.

    Jurors are scheduled to return Monday for closing arguments before beginning deliberations in the only prosecution brought in the killing of the hip-hop icon. The presentation of evidence ended after nine days of testimony.

    Davis, 63, did not take the stand.

    Shakur was riding in a BMW on Sept. 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up next to it at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later. The driver of the BMW, Marion "Suge" Knight, survived.

    Years later, Davis would say he procured the gun and his nephew, who has since died, fired the shots. Prosecutors say Davis orchestrated the killing, and he faces life in prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty.

    Defense attorney Michael Sanft has argued that Davis fabricated or embellished his accounts of the killing for money and notoriety and that investigators failed to independently corroborate his claims.

    Retired Las Vegas homicide detective Dan Long, the defense's final witness, testified that he tried unsuccessfully to verify several details Davis provided during a 2009 police interview.

    Davis told Long that his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, had gone to a Las Vegas hospital after being beaten by Shakur and others in a casino brawl hours before the rapper was fatally shot. Long said he was unable to find hospital records confirming Anderson was treated there.
