This year, besides our tremendous slate of awards and honors, we will be dedicating the ceremony to our beloved June Foray. More than anyone else, June was responsible for founding the Annies 45 years ago. This will be the first year she is not going to be with us, so we will do our best to remember and celebrate June's creativity, generosity and unrelenting advocacy for the animation community. - Frank Gladstone, ASIFA-Hollywood's executive director.
