Notes

  1. ↑ Although there is no mention of a President's Award for this year on the official NAACP Image Awards website, [7] nor in any archived press releases from that period, [8] many online sources from 2014 state that Donald Sterling received the President's Award in either 2008 [9] or 2009. [10] It is unclear if this was an award from a local chapter or a national Image Award.

The award is one of the Annie Awards, which are given to contributions to animation, including producers, directors, and voice actors. The Annie Awards were created in 1972 by June Foray to honor individual lifetime contributions to animation. In 1992, the scope of the awards was expanded to honor animation as a whole; the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature was created as a result of this move, and subsequent awards have been created to recognize different contributions to animation. The Annie Award for Best Animated Video Game was created in 2005, and has been awarded yearly since except in 2009. To be eligible for the award, the game must have been released in the year before the next Annie Awards ceremony, and the developers of the game must send a five-minute DVD that shows the gameplay and graphics of the game to a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of ASIFA-Hollywood.
