The Riot Games' production swept the prestigious Annie Awards.

The 49th annual ASIFA-Hollywood Annie Awards were dominated by Riot Games this year, as Arcane picked up a total of nine trophies, absolutely sweeping the floor. Arcane won in all categories it was nominated in, including the best TV/Media – General Audience award. It’s impressive considering its League of Legends affiliation but unsurprising considering the quality of the show.
