Article from AWN.com

Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles soared to victory for Best Animated Feature as well as taking the nine other categories it was nominated in, including three personal achievements trophies to Brad Bird for Writing, Directing and Voice Acting. The Nickelodeon series, SpongeBob Squarepants, won annual gala.

Comic book legend and best feature presenter Stan Lee was especially pleased to hand out the award to the film featuring superheroes, as it predictably bested the other nominees Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence from Go Fish Pictures (DreamWorks Animation), Shrek 2 from DreamWorks and The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie from Peanut Worm Productions (Paramount Pictures).

The Incredibles also won for Character Design, Animated Effects, Character Animation, Music, Production Design and Storyboarding.

Hilarious emcee for the evening, Tom Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob), was especially delighted to see his series win for best television production, especially after the recent flack from a Focus on the Family spokesperson calling the yellow sponge who lives under the sea a gay character. Which is a ridiculous accusation – and incredible display of intolerance – Kenny pointed out, when one considers that Spongebob is a fictional character, let alone a little kid plus the fact that sponges are asexual and thereby have no sexual orientation.

Another highlight was Kenny quipping with his co-star, Bill FagerBakke, the voice of Patrick Star. After talking about wardrobe malfunctions on other FCC concerns, Kenny turned and let his pants drop to his ankles as he shuffled across the stage in his white underwear briefs while FagerBakke tried to get through his presentations.

In addition to Kenny’s antics, the proceedings surpassed previous years with the quality of presenters, technical execution, clip edits, pacing and organization at check-in and around the venue. IDT Entertainment sponsored a pre-reception in the courtyard and lobby areas of the Alex Theatre, while ticket holders and guests were treated to a post-show celebration dinner at Milano’s Cucina Italiana restaurant, up the street from the venue.

Besides its shared wins with Pixar, Disney had other big victories, including Lorenzo for Best Animated Short Subject and Best Entertainment Home Production went to The Lion King 1½.

Dr. Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar, received a complete standing ovation when he was awarded the Ub Iwerks Award for technical achievement by Iwerk’s granddaughter, Leslie Iwerks.
