Something called "They Might Be Giants “Bastard Wants to Hit Me” was nominated for an annie ward - the oscars of the animation industry (even though the oscars also have a category for animation....nevermind.)

Full list of noms and winners:

personally I reckon the hyseria over Wallace and Gromit overpowered the proceedings. It's a good film, but Howl's Moving Castle and - TV wise -Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends should have got more recognition.

I'm not sure why it's in the "Animated Commercial" category. It's probably the same video that's on their recent "Venue Songs" DVD/CD set.  I remember that one being particularly disturbing.  Too bad TMBG had nothing to do with animating it.  They should nominate the guy who did it, not the band.
