Always great to see the show nominated for awards. Looking at the nominees for best animated tv production I really think Korra has to win, Adventure Time and Gravity Falls would be the main rivals from my perspective, but I honestly expect Korra to win. It is a bit odd to see only Colin Heck nominated for best director when Ian Graham also did as many episodes as him, more difficult to predict, but I would say he is in with a chance given the quality of the show. Korra is such a good looking show that I think it could do well in the final category also.
I hope it wins something as we were disappointed last year when it didn't win any of the awards it was up for.
Thoughts?
