# Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement for Voice Acting in a Feature Production

The Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement for Voice Acting in a Feature Production (or Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production) is an Annie Award awarded annually to the best animated feature film and introduced in 1998 rewarding voice acting for animated feature films.

## History

Awards for voice acting were awarded at the Annie Awards previously to 1998, but the category was a catch-all for film and television. The award then was divided in two separate sub-categories for males and females in 1998, 2000, and 2001. It was called Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production from 1998 to 2001, and Outstanding Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production from 2002 to 2004.
At the 33rd Annual Awards, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was the only film that had multiple nominations without any other films being nominated.
So far, the only tie in this category happened in the 44th Annual Awards with both Auliʻi Cravalho (Moana) and Jason Bateman (Zootopia) sharing the prize.
In 2019, Josh Gad became the category's first two-time winner, when he won for his vocal portrayal of Olaf in Frozen 2, having previously won for voicing the character in 2013 for Frozen.
