Annie Voting:

Today is the first day of Annie Award voting. If you are a member of ASIFA-Hollywood you should have gotten your username and password in an email.

Again this year we are voting online. There are advantages and disadvantages to all voting systems (as we well know in this country). But before I veer into a political rant on chads and e-voting machine companies bought up by major political supporters let me say that I think in the case of the Annie Awards the advantages far out weigh the disadvantages.

It is a very good thing if everybody gets to see the films that they are voting on. I am not sure that that always happened in the past. With voting on line that happens now. And I love the fact that I don`t have to take yet another long drive into L.A. to see every screening.

I spent a couple of hours viewing clips today and making up mind on said clips. Some of them are hard calls.
