The animation awards run in February, with four projects with strong NZ connections in the running.
In the TV categories, the WotWots are nominated for best animated preschool show. In the best animated kids show category, Nickelodeon grabs three of the four nominations including one for Penguins of Madagascar, made here by Oktobor Animation.
The (exceptionally long) nominations list also includes nominations for Tintin and Planet of the Apes.
