Any reason why the animation category was merged into one?
Probably because while the studios enter the competition to get the honor on their resumés, they can’t be bothered to even film a 30 second thank you note for the awards presentation (see last year’s feature and television awards).
Fair nuff!
Shame Web animation got swept in this, too. With few exceptions, not many web animation get much overview.
