Arcane: League of Legends sweeps the Annie Awards with nine trophies

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.

The show beat out competitors like Love, Death + Robots, Star Wars: Visions, and Bob Burgers for the top prize, solidifying Netflix as a leading publisher for animated projects. (Netflix’s Mitchells vs. the Machines won a total of eight prizes on the film side, bringing home over 15 awards for the streamer.)
