Congrats to everyone on The Clone Wars staff for the nominations and special congrats to Daniel Arkin, Nika Futterman and Corey Burton for their individual nods. Am I the only one who's surprised that Corey got nominated for his Baron Papanoida portrayal as opposed to Cad Bane? Either way, TCW recognition is all that matters! The competition is stiff, including Robot Chicken: Star Wars III, so we wish our favorite animated Star Wars show well.
The 38th Annual Annie Awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, February 5, 2011, at UCLA's Royce Hall in Los Angeles, California. More details and information can be found at AnnieAwards.org.

They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
