Other highlights: Michel Gagne’s Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet won for Best Video Game. Cartoon Network’s The Amazing World of Gumball was honored as Best Animated Television Production for Children. The Simpsons took the prize again for Best General Audience TV Production. Character Animation in a Live Action Production was presented to ILM’s work on The Transformers: Dark of The Moon.
