Nominations for the 41st Annual Annie Awards were announced and "Frozen" and "Monsters University" led the pack with 10 nominations each. "Despicable Me 2" and "The Croods" followed closely with 9 noms each.
I am rooting for "Frozen" to win! It's a return to form to what Disney does best -- affecting fairy tale with memorable musical numbers. "Monsters University," on the other hand, was bland. The film bored me on second viewing.
Steven Spielberg will receive the Winsor McCay Award for career achievement at the awards ceremony happening on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. Patrick Warburton will serve as host.

Clone High Episode 1 ‘Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand’
Directed by Todd Collyer and Harold Harris
Written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Bill Lawrence
Aired 11/2/2002
Back in November of 2002, MTV aired a new animated series about high school called Clone High, which was co-created by a pre- Scrubs and Cougar Town Bill Lawrence. Due to poor ratings from a misguided public controversy (a poster with the Ghandi character in Maxim magazine) and poor support from the network, the show was pulled from American televisions before the last five episodes of the 13-episode first season aired. The powers that be didn’t realize what a masterpiece they had on their hands; Clone High is one of the most brilliant satires I’ve ever watched, taking a high-concept premise and making it infinitely relatable by infusing it with light-hearted but wildly intelligent parodies on life in high school.

Forty years on, few books have changed the literary landscape like Frederick Forsyth's political thriller
In 1969, a young British journalist returned to London after spending 18 months reporting on the Biafran war. His name was Frederick Forsyth. He was 31 years old and, by his own account, flat broke. Needing money quickly, he did what any self-respecting hack would have done: he wrote a thriller.
Initially entitled The Jackal, it told the story of an unnamed assassin hired to kill President de Gaulle. The novel took Forsyth just 35 days to write. He had no great literary aspirations and certainly no intention of revolutionising an entire genre. Forsyth's heroes were John Buchan and Rider Haggard: he simply wanted to tell a riveting story.
This month marks the 40th anniversary of the novel's publication. It is no exaggeration to say The Day of the Jackal has influenced a generation of thriller writers, from Jack Higgins to Ken Follett,...
