The First Annual Renegade Animation Awards! Animation #17
Tonight, on a very prestigious episode of Renegade Animation, we celebrate everything good and bad about Animation in the past year with the FIRST ANNUAL RENNIES!… Rannies?… R.A.A.’s? — Whatever, it’s the FIRST ANNUAL RENEGADE ANIMATION AWARDS!
How’s it going my fellow Renegades? THE DIRECTOR is back to officiate our first ever awards show from our website, and who better to ring in the occasion than our very own Captain Kaye and Animation Guru?
That’s right, we’re counting down the absolute BEST of Animation that the medium had to offer in 2020. And while we may be as long as the Oscars, at least we won’t give out NFT’s of Kirby Morrow or anything exploitative like that. No awards show would EVER DO that, right? RIGHT?!
