Spongebob at the Annie Awards

A little bit about what the Annie Awards actually are, taken from their website:
"The highest honor given for excellence in animation. Each year, Annie Award trophies are awarded for the year's best feature film, video, television program, commercial, and animated interactive production; as well as individual achievement by artists, writers and voice talent."
