Annie Award 2016 Winners

As predicted, Evolve won the award in video games. We assume because it's the only game voters asked their kids about and their kids new. We didn't watch the show, so no idea if we could have pretended to be 2K Games and taken the award for ourselves. We'll assume one did however and possibly get that Annie Award. With 2K Games Pixar won many of the awards and thankfully Gravity Falls got some love.
