Glad to see Aardman Studios doing so well awards-wise, but who does the Annies? And who gets to vote for those awards?

I must say that I'm surprised that Corpse Bride didn't win anything.

Apparently this was the 33rd Annie presentation! And Corpse Bride was nominated in a few categories, unfortunately it ran into a meat grinder, just like opening the same year against Lord of the Rings III.
