2019 AuraAnime Awards

The 2019 AuraAnime Awards was the second annual AuraAnime Awards. The awards ceremony, held in Los Angeles, California (like the 2018 awards before it), aired on Nickelodeon Family's AuraNightfall block on December 31st, 2019.
Starting with the 2019 awards, a new condition for nomination was added: that while there is no requirement concerning when it premiered, the anime must have had new episodes in Japan air (via TV, home media, or streaming) between January 1st and December 30th of the year that the awards are airing. The only exceptions are nominations for Best Anime Dub of 2019, in which the dub in question must've been released or slated for release in 2019.
The 2019 awards ceremony was known for human error in which Super Dragon Ball Heroes and Beastars were stated as the award winner and runner-up in "Best Shounen" respectively. A last-minute "awards swap" took place at the end of the ceremony and planning for the 2020 AuraAnime Awards was halted for a month.
