\"The-Hobbit-Gollum\"<\/a>That mischievous little sneaker known as Gollum (or Smeagol, depending on his mood) has another notch in his belt (er, loincloth). Even 10+ years after making a splash in Hollywood, he just can’t stop picking up awards.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the 41st Annual Annie Awards were held. The Annies celebrate achievement in film and television animation. The award for ‘Character Animation in a Live Action Production’ was given to Jeff Capogreco, Jedrzej Wojtowicz, Kevin Estey, Alessandro Bonora and Gino Acevedo for their work on Gollum in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Congratulations to the recipients, and all those who have worked to bring Gollum to life! It would be a massive understatement to say that we have greatly appreciated all your dedication and hard work.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Will Smith<\/strong> (no, not that one) for telling us about this!<\/p>\n
