Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse dominated the Annie Awards film categories, while Blue Eye Samurai led in TV wins.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse took home the evening's top prize and then some at the 51st Annie Awards. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse won seven Annie Awards categories in total, including the award for Best Feature, beating fellow nominees Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, The Boy and the Heron, Nimona, and Suzume.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse also took home the awards for Best FX in a Feature, Best Character Design, Best Direction in a Feature (Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K.

On the television side of the Annie Awards, Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai picked up six awards, including Best TV/Media – Mature. Blue Eye Samurai's other wins include the TV/media Annie Awards for best FX, character animation, production design, writing, and editorial.

Where to Watch the Spider-Verse Movies

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is available on home media and currently streams on Netflix. Its predecessor, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is also available on home media and streaming via FXNow and Fubo.

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the third film in the series, had been scheduled for theatrical release in 2024. However, the scale of the project led Sony to push that release date back, possibly motivated by reports of difficult working conditions for animators on the ambitious Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A new release date has not yet been announced.
