‘Nimona’ Bags Major Noms At The 51st Annie Awards

Nimona

Queer animated movie ‘Nimona’ has been nominated in 9 categories at the 51st Annie Awards!

The groundbreaking animated movie is getting its flowers with 9 nominations at the Annie Awards which recognizes excellence in animation shown in American cinema and television.

‘Nimona’ was nominated in all the major categories, including Best Feature, Best Direction, and Best Writing. Chloë Grace Moretz, who played Nimona also received a nomination for Best Voice Acting. The movie was also nominated for Best Storyboarding, Best Character and Production Design, Best Character Animation, and Best Editorial.

Other animated films such as ‘Across the Spider-Verse’, ‘The Boy and the Heron’, and ‘Suzume’ have been nominated for 7 categories and will battle it out with ‘Nimona’ for the Best Feature category.

 

‘Nimona’ is based on nonbinary trans-masc creator ND Stevenson’s 2015 graphic novel which follows the shape-shifter Nimona who lives in a futuristic medieval world. She goes on an adventure with a knight who was framed for a crime he did not commit, and the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona, the very creature he has sworn to destroy. 

The comic and film made headlines for its queer and trans representation. Aside from Nimona being gender non-conforming, the film also features a same-sex romance between two male knights, Ballister Blackheart (voiced by Riz Ahmed) and Ambrosius Goldenloin (voiced by Eugene Lee Yang).

The 51st annual Annie Awards will take place on Saturday, February 17 at 7 pm PST.

Congratulations to all the nominees and may the odds be in your favor!
