ANNIE AWARD NOMINATIONS

It can be a little hard to get inside the heads of Annie voters, but then maybe that's cos not many people know a lot about them. They don't matter v much, rly. I could do some digging, but I don't care v much either. Frozen and Monsters University lead the way with ten nominations apiece.
