OMICRON SURGE CONTINUES TO RESHAPE AWARDS SEASON, TURNING 49TH ANNUAL ANNIE AWARDS FROM LIVE EVENT 2/26 TO VIRTUAL STREAMING SHOW 3/12. "WHEN WE ANNOUNCED THAT THE ANNIES WOULD BE IN PERSON THIS YEAR ON FEB. 26, THE OMICRON VARIANT WAS NOT EVEN ON THE HORIZON," EXPLAINED FRANK GLADSTONE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ASIFA (ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONALE DU FILM D'ANIMATION), WHICH AWARDS ANNIES. "BUT NOW IT IS HERE AND SO HIGHLY INFECTIOUS THAT, AFTER MUCH DEBATE AND DISCUSSION, ASIFA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS DECIDED, IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, TO ONCE AGAIN MOVE TO A VIRTUAL CEREMONY. WE'VE ALSO MOVED THE DATE OF THE EVENT BY TWO WEEKS TO GIVE OUR PRODUCTION CREW TIME TO GATHER AND EDIT THE HUGE AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL MATERIAL IT TAKES TO CONSTRUCT THE VIRTUAL CEREMONY." TOP CONTENDERS: "RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON" (DISNEY - 10 NOMS) & "ENCANTO" (DISNEY - NINE NOMS), FOLLOWED BY "LUCA" (PIXAR) & "THE MITCHELLS VS.
