History

edit

Awards for voice acting were awarded at the Annie Awards previously to 1998, but the category was a catch-all for film and television. The award then was divided in two separate sub-categories for males and females in 1998, 2000, and 2001. It was called Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production from 1998 to 2001,[1][2] and Outstanding Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production from 2002 to 2004.[3]

At the 33rd Annual Awards, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit was the only film that had multiple nominations without any other films being nominated.[4]

So far, the only tie in this category happened in the 44th Annual Awards with both Auliʻi Cravalho (Moana) and Jason Bateman (Zootopia) sharing the prize.[5]

In 2019, Josh Gad became the category's first two-time winner, when the actor won for his vocal portrayal of Olaf in Frozen II, having previously won for voicing the character in 2013 for Frozen.[6]
