The Annie Awards are prestigious awards for the field of animation, similar to the Grammy Awards in cinema. The Annies have been awarded by the Los Angeles branch of the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA-Hollywood, since 1972. The recipients are films that have significant influence, high reviews from critics, and have been beloved by audiences. Among them, the product from “Riot Entertainment” – Arcane, leads in 9 prestigious categories at the 2021 Annie Awards.
Discovered by gamers, Arcane was first revealed in the Giant music video by the group True Damage released at the end of 2019. Since its premiere, Arcane has achieved successes beyond Riot Games’ expectations.
If you haven’t seen this masterpiece, Arcane is set in Piltover and the underground city of Zaun. The film follows the development journey of two sisters, Vi and Powder (Jinx), and the two cities. Subsequent events cause the sisters to become estranged, and they gradually take different paths. The film ends with the sound of rebellion marking the war between Piltover and Zaun – the main plot for the second season of the film.
And those successes are concretized by the trophies for each category that this film has achieved at the 2021 Annie Awards. This year, there are 49 awards across various categories, and Arcane is currently leading in 9 nominations:
